A 33-year-old man was stabbed and robbed during a clash over food inside Washington Square Park late Wednesday, cops said.
The victim was on the north side of the iconic Greenwich Village park around 9:30 p.m. when the spat erupted, authorities said.
The assailant knifed the parkgoer in the back and then snatched his backpack, police said.
The feud had to do with food, according to cops – who had no further details on the exact circumstances.
It’s unclear whether the victim knew his attacker.
The suspect took off and had not been caught by Thursday morning.
Overall felony crime is down by nearly 16% year-to-date in the confines of the 6th Precinct, which covers Greenwich Village and the West Village, including the park, according to the latest NYPD data.
Felony assaults, specifically, have dipped about 24% so far this year, compared to the same period last year.
