The pair was allegedly attacked by Robert Kerri, 43, as they waited for a tour bus near 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhttan around 3:50 p.m., the NYPD said.

A 47-year-old man was knifed once in the torso — and saved by his coat amid bone-chilling temperatures Monday, while the 44-year-old woman was slapped in the face, according to cops and sources.


A city street corner with pedestrians walking on the sidewalk and crosswalk, multiple vehicles on the road, and tall buildings lining the street.
Robert Kerri, 43, was arrested for allegedly stabbing a man in the chest and slapping a woman in the face near Manhattan’s Times Square on Monday.

The woman was knocked to the ground by the slap, sources added.

Both suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment, police said. It’s unclear if they knew each other.

Kerri was arrested shortly after the attack and charged with two counts of assault and two counts of harassment, according to authorities.
