Two high school students were arrested for slashing a 20-year-old woman's hand and stabbing an 18-year-old man in the face and back in the Columbus Circle subway station yesterday afternoon. According to the Daily News, cops cuffed Independence High School students Nathaniel Flores and Rafael Anderson, both 17, for the incident, which occurred in an underground walkway in the station at around 3 p.m. The tabloid notes that the victims—identified as Devon Baldwin and Kalimah Tresdale—knew the suspects, and The Post reports the victims are also high school students.
