It happened at the Ralph stop, about 4 long blocks away from Lewis. It also happened mid-day. Could have just as easily took place at the Utica or Throop stops.
One last question, how long does the A/C train take to get from Fulton Street (lower manhattan) to Utica station (Brooklyn) I have to be there a 7pm, so when should I leave from Manhattan?

What could it be, 15 - 20 minutes when running express. Its not a long train ride from Fulton. I think 5 stops.

Alright that doesn't sound so bad, so I guess if I leave grand central at like 5:40, I will get to Utica at like 6;30 latest, that gives a bit to walk to the area and grab a bite.
(I wasn't counting Grand Central. you said from Fulton. My post follows, when I thougt you were asking from Fulton)

Give yourself an hour [from Fulton station to corner Halsey/Lewis..] because you're new.
That includes: walking through 2 stations (5 min total), finding the correct platform, waiting up to 10 minutes for a train to arrive, the actual 16-20 minutes on train, 15 minutes pedestrian walk to Halsey/Lewis, and 10 minutes padding so you don't worry when the train pauses along the way.
You could check googlemaps same afternoon with the route, in case of any big surprise delays.
If you have to buy a subway card, even that can add 5 minutes if you are new to the machine, or you have to wait behind someone else.
The best way to navigate NYC subways, especially at first, is pad your time generously, to allow for your walking mistakes or train surprises.. especially if you're coming for something high-stakes like a meeting, interview, etc.

I suspect a homeless person based on the randomness of it. This could of happened at 72nd and Broadway or on a LIRR platform even...

This happened on a moving train that travels through three boroughs...this isn't a "bed stuy is dangerous" incident, it's a "some crazy person stabbed someone on the train" incident. It could have easily taken place on any train line near any stop. For example:
OP, I'm in no way tying to scare you with these links. I'm just trying to show the absurdity of the posters that are fear mongering. You'll be in the area at a reasonable hour and when it will be well populated. Add to that that, the area has seen significant improvement in terms of safety and QOL over the last 5 years. I would bet money that when you see the area, you'll be totally shocked at what this area of Bed Stuy is like in 2015.

All I did was respond to another poster with an article. And it did happen to be located not too far from the OPs destination. What a coincidence. Believe the criminal lives in the Ocean Hill section, not all that far away either. But please go on. Let me know if you want to turn this thread into one about whether Stuyvesant is just like any other neighborhood in the city, or if it is one of the few outlier high crime neighborhoods in the city.
