The beef turned bloody when the suspect brandished a sharp object and slashed the victim across the face, arm, and abdomen.<\/p>\n<p>Officers from NYPD Transit District 11 and paramedics received a 911 call reporting that a person had been attacked with a knife and responded to the incident. EMS rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the perpetrator, who was described as wearing all black, fled the scene on foot. No arrests have been made.\n<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information regarding this slashing can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA).
