Two teenagers were stabbed while riding a train in Times Square on Thursday morning, authorities said.

Officers from Transit District 1 rushed to the N/Q/R line near 42nd Street and 7th Avenue just before 7 a.m. on Aug. 15 after the NYPD received several 911 calls about the incident.

Police sources said the two victims had become embroiled in an argument with another teen onboard a train that swiftly turned violent.

During the altercation, law enforcement sources said, the suspect stabbed one victim, a 15-year-old boy, in the hand and the other victim, a 16-year-old boy, in the abdomen.

Both victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital by EMS where they are expected to survive.

Meanwhile, police say they are looking for a suspect around the same age who they describe as having short black hair and wearing all black.

No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.
