Man slashed in brawl outside bowling alley — one of three violent Manhattan street attacks in under two hours
A 21-year-old man was slashed in the neck during a violent brawl outside a Lower East Side bowling alley early Monday — one of three violent Manhattan street attacks within fewer than two hours, cops said.
A verbal spat between the victim and three other men turned violent when it spilled out of The Gutter L.E.S. on Essex near Broome streets around 1:40 a.m., police said.
The victim was sliced on his neck and also ended up with a cut on the top of his head during the melee, authorities said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition but cops confirmed by the early afternoon that his condition had stabilized.
The suspects fled south on Essex Street after the attack, and no arrests have been made, authorities said.
One of them was last seen wearing a white shirt and gray pants, a second wore a black shirt and orange pants, and the third had on a blue sweater and dark-colored pants, cops said.
It’s not clear what sparked the brawl.
Around the same time, a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the torso at 12th Avenue and West 34th Street in Hudson Yards near the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, police said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
The suspects, a man and woman, fled north on 11th Avenue, cops said.
The male suspect is described as around 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds. The woman stands around 5-foot-3 and weighs about 150 pounds.
She was last seen wearing a checkerboard shirt and a black and white sweater.
The motive for that attack is under investigation.
Hours earlier, a 23-year-old man was slashed on two of his fingers and tased in the chest during a brawl with three other men – all strangers – in Midtown, cops said.
The violence erupted around 12:10 a.m. on Sixth Avenue near West 47th Street, police said.
A 23-year-old woman put her bag on the ground while she tried to intervene in the fracas and later realized it was missing, cops said.
Another woman, 20, had kept her phone inside the bag, authorities said.
A fourth person was tased in the chest, stomach and arm during the melee but refused medical attention, cops said.
Only the first victim, who was slashed, was hospitalized at Bellevue. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made in connection to the violence.
