HAWTHORNE – Westchester County Police are investigating a stabbing incident that occurred early Wednesday on a Bee-Line bus in west Yonkers.
The incident occurred about 12:20 a.m. when two passengers became involved in an argument in the rear of the bus. A third passenger, who was not involved in the dispute, walked from the front of the vehicle and stabbed the victim several times, police said.

He has since been released.
The assailant fled the scene.
