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> by an alleged assailant with an extensive criminal history.<\/p>\n

Demitri Marshall, 32, was taken into custody around 5:30 p.m. Monday, less than 12 hours after he attacked a 27-year-old man outside the East Broadway station near Canal and Essex Sts., authorities charged.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a 41-year-old man was knifed in the back on W. 49th St. and Eighth Ave. in Hell\u2019s Kitchen.<\/p>\n

The still at-large assailant slashed the victim on the left side of his back around 8:50 p.m. Tuesday. EMS rushed the injured man to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.<\/p>\n

In a separate incident, a 22-year-old man was stabbed in the back near the corner of E. 53rd St. and First Ave. around 12:40 a.m. Wednesday. He was rushed to Cornell Hospital and was in stable condition.<\/p>\n

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

As of Oct. 12, assaults in the city were down by less than 1% for the year to date, officials said. Cops have investigated 23,397 assaults this year, 126 fewer than at this time last year, according to NYPD statistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 51-year-old man riding a D train through Manhattan during rush hour on Thursday was stabbed in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[4121,75,84,83,9,24,63,5207,5208,1961],"class_list":{"0":"post-5375","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manhattan","8":"tag-bellevue-hospital","9":"tag-manhattan","10":"tag-manhattan-headlines","11":"tag-manhattan-news","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-rush-hour","16":"tag-stable-condition","17":"tag-train-station"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5375","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=5375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
