Two dudes without a roof over their heads got into a heated fight in SoHo on a random Thursday afternoon, which ended with one dude getting seriously messed up and needing to be hospitalized with stab wounds, the cops said.
The messy incident went down near the corner of Prince Street and Broadway, close to the Prince Street subway station, at around 12:10 p.m. on May 15. Apparently, the two guys were begging for change or whatever, and then things escalated into a nasty argument.
No one really knows why the fight started, but the aggressor decided to whip out a knife and stab a 38-year-old guy in the neck and wrist. Ouch, that must’ve hurt.
The 5th Precinct cops were called in, and the victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital. Luckily, he’s in stable condition now, but there was blood all over the sidewalk, and a bunch of people were just walking by like it was no big deal. The suspect booked it on foot, and the cops were out there searching for him like it was a game of hide and seek. Not really sure why this matters, but if you have any info, you can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS. Or you can go online and be a hero by leaving a tip. All calls are confidential, so spill the beans if you know something.
