Man, 27, stabbed during clash inside Times Square McDonald’s – third knifing near tourist hub in a week

A 27-year-old man was stabbed during a heated clash inside a Times Square McDonald’s early Tuesday – marking the third person knifed near the tourist hub in a week, cops and sources said. 

An apparent stranger knifed the victim in the stomach around 5:55 a.m. inside the fast food joint on Broadway near West 45th Street, according to authorities and sources. 

The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said. 

The wounded man was caught up in a feud with two men, one of whom was the attacker, according to the sources. 

Both assailants ran off after the bloody brawl, police said. 

The knifing came two days after another man was knifed in the leg during a fight in front of a Starbucks on Broadway near West 39 Street around 7:45 p.m. Sunday, cops said. 

And last Wednesday, a 30-year-old man was slashed in the face and stabbed in the back by a trio on Broadway near West 39th Street, cops said. 

NYPD data updated Sunday shows that so far this year, 23 felony assaults have been reported in the confines of the Midtown South precinct, which covers Times Square – even with last year’s total during the same period.
