A 44-year-old man was stabbed during a clash outside a popular Manhattan venue just as a Halsey concert appeared to be wrapping up Tuesday night, cops and sources said.
The victim was stabbed in the stomach around 10:45 p.m. right in front of the Manhattan Center on West 34th Street near Eighth Avenue in Midtown, authorities said.

He had gotten into an argument with another man just as the show was coming to an end, sparking the violence, the sources said.
The NYPD could not confirm what performer was on stage when the attack erupted, but the venue’s website shows pop star Halsey began her concert, part of her “Back To Badlands” tour, at its iconic Hammerstein Ballroom less than two hours earlier.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.
His suspected attacker, described as a man with a dark complexion by cops, ran off after the attack.
