The MTA said that uptown and downtown 4, 5 and 6 trains are bypassing Grand Central-42nd Street because of the police investigation.
Police sources said the incident happened on the 4, 5, 6 subway platform.
The stabbing victims, identified as an 84-year-old male, a 70-year-old female and a 65-year-old male, were hospitalized in stable condition, police said.
