Fatal stabbing at South Station disrupts Red Line service

Transit Police responded to a report of a fight on an escalator leaving the Red Line station about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and found a man with at least one stab wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. No arrests have been made, and Boston Police Superintendent Paul McLaughlin asked witnesses to come forward as detectives gather video evidence, with the Suffolk County District Attorney's office assisting. The rush-hour response prompted temporary Red Line bypasses; State Senator Nick Collins called the stabbing "very tragic and alarming" and said he believes it was isolated.
