The attacks took place around 8:50 p.m. in an area near the ticketing counter in the main concourse of the station, officials said. Two men, ages 47 and 61, were being treated at Roosevelt Hospital with wounds that did not appear to be life-threatening.
The police were searching for a male suspect who fled the station, but no arrest had been made by about 11 p.m., said Joseph Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He said the weapon had not been recovered, but described the injuries as "lacerations rather than stabs."
The suspect and the two victims appeared to know one another, Mr. Pentangelo said, and had an argument that led to a physical confrontation.
Some service was disrupted, but was restored around 10:30 p.m., Mr. Pentangelo said.
Mamdouh Dawood was working at the Deli Plus store at the terminal when he saw people running from the main concourse. Nearly 100 people poured into his store to take cover, with many hiding behind the counter.
"Everyone came into the store and came behind the counter and said, 'Get down! Get down!' " he said.
Mr. Dawood, 50, a shift manager at the store who is from Egypt, said he was not too alarmed.
"I'm from the Middle East, so I'm used to this thing," he said.
Police at the Port Authority blocked off the area while cleaning crews mopped the floors around 10:30 p.m. Blood remained on the floor near an escalator.
