NEW YORK (WPIX) - A man was fatally stabbed on a train Saturday after a fight over a subway seat.

Gerardo Sanchez , 37, of the Bronx has been arrested and charged with murder, police said.

Sanchez and another man in his 30s got into an argument on the northbound "D" train in Midtown about 2 a.m. That's when Sanchez pulled a knife and repeatedly stabbed the man in the neck and face.

Police were immediately alerted, and were waiting on the platform when the train pulled into the West 53 Street and 7 Avenue station.

Officers say Sanchez was standing over his bloodied victim when the doors opened.

The victim was declared dead at the scene.
