NY Post
A man who was brutally stabbed and beaten on a Bronx subway platform this week had just wished his attackers a happy New Year, the NYPD said.
The 29-year-old victim was standing on the southbound D train platform at the 182nd Street-183rd Street station in Fordham Heights around 8:45 p.m. New Year’s Day when four strangers walked up to him, authorities said.
“Happy New Year,” the victim greeted the crew – who then began arguing with him, according to cops.
The verbal clash erupted into violence and the group of men pummeled him in the face and body, police said.
Then, one of the attackers whipped out “an unknown sharp object” and stabbed the victim multiple times all over his body, cops said.
The victim was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, where cops initially said he was critically injured, but his condition was later upgraded to serious but stable.
