Man fatally shot after dispute on Manhattan subway platform

A man was shot and killed Saturday afternoon following a dispute on a subway platform in Midtown Manhattan, prompting service disruptions as police investigated.

The shooting occurred around 12:20 p.m. at the Seventh Avenue and West 53rd Street station, near Broadway theaters and Carnegie Hall.

Police found an adult man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest on the E train platform, according to a police spokesperson. The shooting followed an altercation involving two or three men.

Emergency responders transported the victim to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Subway trains that normally serve the station bypassed the area while police worked at the scene, disrupting service for commuters traveling through Midtown.
