A 19-year-old man sustained multiple stab wounds near the route of the Dominican Day Parade in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday afternoon, according to the New York Post.
The incident occurred around 2:40 p.m. on 42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, adjacent to Bryant Park. Police reported that the victim was repeatedly stabbed in the back and chest following an argument.
Paramedics transported the teenager to NYC Health+Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was listed in stable condition. Two suspects were taken into custody following the incident. As of Sunday afternoon, no charges had been filed, and the relationship between the suspects and the victim was not immediately clear.
The stabbing took place hours after public officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul, participated in the annual parade. The 44th annual Dominican Day Parade proceeded along Sixth Avenue, from 37th Street to 55th Street, under a heavy police presence.
