NY Post reports:
* A Catholic Charities employee was charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing a co-worker at a Flatbush subway station, authorities said yesterday.
Rodwell Austin, 32, allegedly knifed the 32-year-old victim in the neck in the Newkirk Avenue station on the No. 2 line at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The two had argued at work earlier, police said.
The wounded man was listed in critical but stable condition at Kings County Hospital.
As he was busted, Austin claimed he had attacked the victim in self-defense, sources said.
