A 45-year-old man was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition after sustaining a knife wound to the neck in Hell's Kitchen on Tuesday evening. The incident occurred around 8:15 p.m. near the intersection of 10th Avenue and West 52nd Street.
According to the NYPD, the victim and the alleged assailant were engaged in an argument that moved from an interior location to the street. Investigators believe the two individuals were involved in a dispute prior to the stabbing. The suspect, described as wearing a white sweater, white shorts, and white sneakers, fled the scene northbound on 10th Avenue. As of Tuesday night, no arrests had been made.
This stabbing follows a series of knife-related incidents reported in New York City in the preceding days. On Monday morning, a man was repeatedly slashed on a Bronx subway platform. Later that day, a woman identified as Patricia Cisneros, 49, fatally stabbed two individuals in Times Square before being shot by police. Also on Monday evening, a 21-year-old man was stabbed in Midtown after a near-collision with a driver in a BMW.
