A man was rushed to the hospital – with a knife that still stuck from his neck – after he was stabbed during a dispute on Saturday morning during a dispute in a metro station in Manhattan, Cops said.
The victim, 50, was on the West 4th Street-Washington Square Station in the West Village when he got into a fight with another man around 5:40 am, Cops said.
The attacker stabbed the victim from behind, the police said.
The victim was brought to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition with the knife that stuck from his neck, the police said.
He suffered serious injury on the attack and, according to the police, needed emergency operations.
The nature of the dispute was unknown, the police said.
The perpetrator fled the stage on another train.
Subway Rider Sparkle Shakiyah was shocked to hear what was happening at her station.
“I am worried enough that I don’t let my daughter take the train when she starts high school,” said Shakiyah, 47. “She has to take the bus. I’d rather have her outside, but the train, no, I don’t put my daughter on the train alone.”
The lifelong New Yorker started to take the metro when she was 10, but the times have changed, she said.
“I don’t trust it,” she said. “I only see many children on the train and things like that, I just pray for their safety.”
Alvin, a doctor in the fifty, takes the metro almost every day and will not be afraid of stabbing, he said.
“I feel safe,” he said. “I’m just always on my guard. It teaches us all to stay on their guard.”
