Homeless man — who also tried to rob a bank earlier this month — charged in fatal stabbing of passenger on NYC subway

A homeless man has been charged in the fatal stabbing of a passenger aboard a Manhattan subway early Saturday morning, police said.

Claude White, 33, was arrested Monday around 5:15 p.m. and charged with murder in the death of Bronx resident Tavon Silver, according to the NYPD.

White allegedly attacked the 32-year-old victim following a dispute on a southbound 4 train that was pulling into the 14th Street/Union Square station around 4 a.m. Saturday, police said.

Silver, who survived a separate hate-fueled stabbing last year in the Bronx, was found unconscious on the train with multiple stab wounds.

He cried out to a conductor that he’d been stabbed before passing out, authorities previously said.

He was later pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital.

White was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.

The homeless man was charged earlier this month in a Manhattan bank robbery where he allegedly passed a note to a worker demanding money, law enforcement sources said.

He’s had six previous arrests before Monday, sources said.

Silver was the previous victim of an alleged hate crime on a Bronx subway after he was knifed in the arm in June 2022, sources said Sunday.

He told Fox 5 last year from his hospital bed that the suspect in that case directed a homophobic slur at him and his fiancé before stabbing him.

“Next thing I know, like, I had a hole in my arm. Like blood was gushing everywhere,” Silver told the station.

He said back then he was happy to be alive following the scary ordeal.

“I want to see more gay people on the 2 train for me,” Silver told Fox 5, adding. “I’m not gonna change my life just because of this.”

The suspect in that June 2022 case, 52-year-old Runadieo Jordan, has a court date scheduled for next month, according to records.

Jordan was charged with two counts of assault as a hate crime, criminal possession of a weapon and aggravated harassment as a hate crime following his arrest by cops last year.
