A young tourist visiting the Big Apple was stabbed<\/a> inside a Midtown McDonald\u2019s early Monday morning, authorities said.<\/p>\n

According to police sources, the incident took place inside of 490 8th Ave. at just after 2 a.m. Cops from the Midtown South Precinct<\/a> arrived at the fast food restaurant after a report of an assault in progress. There, they found the 19-year-old Australian man with multiple stab wounds to the torso.<\/p>\n

EMS rushed him to Bellevue Hospital, where he is expected to recover. Police say they believe the attack to be unprovoked.\n<\/p>\n

Police took a person of interest into custody for questioning. Charges are pending as a result of the investigation, which remains ongoing.\n<\/p>\n

According to NYPD<\/a> data, felony assaults are down in the confines of the Midtown South Precinct by 5% but are up by 4% across the entire south of Manhattan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FILE \u2013 Police at a crime scene Photo by Lloyd Mitchell A young tourist visiting the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[303,360,9,24,55,54,56,260,41665],"class_list":["post-323153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-crime","tag-midtown","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-stabbing","tag-tourist"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
