A 51-year-old man riding a D train<\/a> through Manhattan during rush hour on Thursday was stabbed in the back during an argument with another straphanger, cops said.<\/p>\n

The early-morning attack was the fourth stabbing to happen in Manhattan since Monday<\/a>, cops said. It was also the second to happen either in or right outside a Manhattan train station.<\/p>\n

The victim was on a Brooklyn-bound train as it rumbled into the W. Fourth St. station in Greenwich Village around 7:30 a.m. when he got into a fight with the other passenger, who was wearing dark-gray sweatpants, a black shirt and black slippers, cops said.<\/p>\n

During the fight, the suspect pulled a knife and jammed it into the man\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

Wounded, the victim stumbled off the train when the doors opened at W. Fourth St. His attacker remained on the subway as it headed downtown.<\/p>\n

The victim was conscious and talking to police when EMS rushed him to Bellevue Hospital<\/a>, where he was listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

The disturbing underground attack comes in the wake of an assault outside a Lower East Side subway station Monday<\/a>\u00a0by an alleged assailant with an extensive criminal history.<\/p>\n
