QUEENS — Three men were stabbed following a dispute in a Jamaica subway station Monday afternoon, police said.

The men were stabbed on the platform at the Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer J, Z and E subway station, at Parsons Boulevard and Archer Avenue, about 3:30 p.m., police said.

Two were stabbed in the stomach and one was stabbed in the leg, the NYPD said.

All three men were rushed to Jamaica Hospital and were expected to survive, police said. 

Police did not immediately have information about arrests.

Because of the investigation, Jamaica-bound J trains were terminating at Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue, 111th Street or 121st Street, the MTA said.
