Chron: Knife fight at Main Street Station!

Reader Vernon Guy passes along a Chronicle story about a slashing that took place on the Main Street Square Danger Train station earlier:

A man was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital after being slashed in a fight about 2 p.m. today at MetroRail's Main Street Square Station in downtown Houston.

"Two males got into an argument on the platform, and one pulled a box cutter," said Metro spokeswoman Raequel Roberts. "Then they took the fight across the tracks to the sidewalk."

Northbound rail service was suspended and passengers were taken across the site by a "bus bridge" as Houston and Metro police investigated, Roberts said. Southbound service was not affected, she said.

I wonder if they were hobos? In any case, it doesn't seem very world class.

If only Chief Lambert had a few insecurity cameras deployed... then maybe we could have all watched!
