A crazed woman went on a slashing rampage this morning, knifing at least two people around a Jamaica subway station, authorities said.
The knife-wielding woman — identified as Dina Saint-Fleur, 25 — was eventually arrested at the Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue Station, where the E, J and Z lines run, shortly after 8:45 a.m., MTA officials said.
The bloody dispute, between the suspect and two victims, began on a J train and then spilled into the station’s escalator when all three people got off, according to the MTA.
The suspect slashed two people, a boyfriend and girlfriend, and a third victim was injured falling down the station escalator when the brawl spread, authorities said.
MTA Officer Jamie Atkinson subdued the woman and recovered the knife, authorities said.
All victims were taken to Jamaica Hospital where they’re in stable condition, according to FDNY officials.
E, J and Z trains briefly bypassed that station this morning, but full service has been restored.
Even as passengers were allowed back on trains, workers scrambled to clean up trails of blood, from the platform to the escalator and exit.
“There’s a lot of blood on the platform,” said MTA cleaning man Jose Fernandez. “I’m not looking forward to it [cleaning it]. This is terrible.”
A cab driver outside the station said he was waiting for fares when people poured from the station screaming: “’There’s a mad woman down there stabbing people!’’“
“Then a couple of people came up the stairs with blood on their arms and hands,” the cab driver added.
Newsstand owner Nurul Alam, 55, said chaos broke out in the station and he caught a brief glimpse of the alleged slasher before she was arrested: “I heard people yelling `Hold her, stop her!’ “
