UPPER DARBY, Pa. - A suspect accused of stabbing someone at a busy SEPTA station Tuesday morning has been arrested, officials announced.
Police responded to the 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby around 9:15 a.m. for reports of a stabbing near the fare gates for the Market-Frankford Line.
A 20-year-old man with a stab wound to his neck was found when police arrived. Paramedics rushed the man to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition.
Witnesses told police the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Elijah Crump, boarded an eastbound Market-Frankford Line train. Investigators believe Crump and the victim knew each other.
Elijah Crump was arrested and charged in a knife attack at 69th Street Transportation Center in Delaware County.

SEPTA police tracked Crump in surveillance video to an address on the 5100 block of Arch Street in Philadelphia where he was taken into custody a little before noon Tuesday. He is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other related charges.
Superintendent Tim Barnhardt credits the 30,000 SEPTA cameras and Philadelphia's real-time crime center for helping investigators locate and apprehend Crump. "Plain-clothes officers set up on the house and the male came out and was taken into custody."
