NJ dad of 3 randomly stabbed at Port Authority Bus Terminal received 46 stitches: ‘Thankful I’m still here’
NY Post
A father of three who was stabbed outside a Manhattan bus terminal Monday morning said he’s thankful to be alive following the unprovoked attack that left him needing 46 stitches.
Daniel Salvatore, who was on his way to work as a carpenter, was stabbed and slashed eight times in the neck and arm by a stranger who ambushed him as he sat reading a book outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown just before 6 a.m.
The New Jersey husband and dad of three adult kids will now spend his 66th birthday on Tuesday in the hospital recovering.
But he said he’s just glad to see another day.
“I should have been dead,” Salvatore told The Post from his hospital bed. “I got 46 stitches and I’m very thankful I’m still here.”
The carpenter has been commuting from New Jersey to Manhattan for the past five years and has a routine in which he reads a book for a half hour after he gets off the bus at the Port Authority terminal while he waits for his coworker.
