If you happened to be in the vicinity of the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station at about 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, you may have seen the commotion.
Two women got into a fight on the sidewalk outside the station. One thing led to another and the women stabbed each other. The area was full of commuters, office workers and people out on their lunch break.
