听Originally the incident was reported as a potential stabbing but was later corrected after investigation.听

听This report is the most recent in a slew of incidents on the metro in D.C. On Dec. 8, a suspect fired a gun towards a Metro car after a fight at the Columbia Heights Station. Prior to that, a 19-year-old was shot in the leg on a Metro car on .

听When asked about crime on the metro, passenger Alex Crane said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 just what happens now, I guess.鈥�

听Field Training Officer for the Metropolitan Transit Police Department Ryan O鈥橠onnell said that there was 鈥渘o interruption鈥� to the operation of transit at the Farragut West Station throughout the investigation and trains are continuing on their original schedule.听

EMS, Metropolitan Transit Police and a bomb tech were on the scene out of an abundance of caution but had the scene cleaned up less than an hour after police were first dispatched. Passengers on the platform were largely unaware that there had been an assault.听

听D.C. has been experiencing a crime wave, much like other large U.S. cities, and after this incident some Metro riders are rethinking how they use public transit.听

听Karen Herrera said she has to continue to use the metro to commute, but after hearing about incidents that happen so close to her, 鈥渋t makes me consider how aware I am of my surroundings.鈥�

听Crane said with the rise of crime generally in D.C. and the reported incidents on the Metro, he鈥檚 become very cautious of friends traveling solo.

鈥淓specially with my female friends and my girlfriend, I鈥檓 much more intentional than ever about making sure they鈥檙e not traveling alone.鈥�

听The Metropolitan Police Department that this year the number of homicides has grown by 10% compared to 2020. Crane says he experienced a drive-by shooting just last week while at a friend鈥檚 apartment in Navy Yards.听

听鈥淎t this point, there鈥檚 a stabbing or a shooting every day now,鈥� he said.

听MPD reports don鈥檛 show the same rise in assaults and robberies, but WMATA data tells a different story about crime on public transit.

听In November, there were 22 incidences of aggravated assault , jumping over 40% from November 2020. Rates of robbery reported by WMATA doubled for the same period. The vast majority of these crimes are committed on trains.听
