“A graphic photo circulated Twitter Tuesday morning showing several people lying on the blood soaked floor of the station,” Fox News reports. “One man applied pressure to what appeared to be another man’s leg wound. A red item of clothing was tied around the wound to slow bleeding. A puddle of blood was seen next to a second man grasping his cell phone, as back packs and purses were strewn across the platform.”
