The suspect, Jontori Lee, 31, of Oakland, was arrested in the area by BART police.
Police are trying to determine if the two men knew each other and what motivated the stabbing.
Lee was booked at Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and other weapons-related offenses. He was being held without bail.
According to court records, Lee was on probation for an April 1, 2025 Alameda County conviction for making terrorist threats. He was initially arrested in that case in March of 2025 for the threat charge and also for brandishing a firearm and carrying a loaded firearm in public. But in a plea bargain, the two gun charges were dropped and he pleaded no contest and was convicted of the threat charge, the records say.
