A person was reportedly stabbed in a dispute at the 24th Street BART plaza on Saturday afternoon just before 5 p.m., authorities said.
BART spokesperson James Allison said that the victim is expected to survive their injuries, which are “believed to be caused by a sharp object.”
Allison said the victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital. Police detained one suspect, Allison added, and two others are believed to have fled the scene.
Minutes before 5 p.m., three San Francisco police cars were seen hurtling down Mission Street toward the northeast plaza, which was full of vendors and transit-takers.
“Apparently, two groups became involved in a dispute at the top of the staircase in the east plaza of 24th Street, leading to the suspected stabbing,” Allison wrote in a statement.
Today’s incident is the most recent in a handful of stabbings and shootings at the BART plaza this year.

Crime is trauma and the county offers different services, which can be found here. Victims of violent crime can also contact the Trauma Recovery Center at UCSF. The SFPD’s data on crime can be found here.
who says the doom loop confined to the financial district. Many of us stopped going to Mission st. to avoid any possible confrontation.
Nobody goes to Mission Street anymore. It’s too crowded.
The toilet-less panopticon tower that lasted a day or so would totally have helped.
Not my idea,
But, a great one.
Put 24/7/365 Police Kobans/Cop Boxes whatever you wanna call em …
Feinstein saw them in Europe and Asia and brought them here and put em above every major Bart station and in Chinatown and other tourists spots.
Cops hated em and gangs shot em up at 16th and 24th and Mission and Willie Brown got rid of em as part of a deal for support of SFPOA.
Last I looked there was still one serving as ticket window for Hyde Street Cable Car turnaround.
An Elected Police Chief with that as a Platform Plank could put em up in a day.
Elected Chief, a Michael Hennessey idea.
I’m just an old man carrying water for others.
Go Niners !!
