Two men were stabbed last night after getting involved in a knife fight at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, according to officials.
The fight reportedly went down at around 8:50 p.m., starting first in a Port Authority bathroom and ending with a stabbing near a ticket counter in the terminal’s main concourse. Cops say that three men were involved in the incident, and it is believed that all of them were homeless; the Post reports that the victims, a 48-year-old man and a 61-year-old man, were both slashed in the face, though other outlets have indicated that one of the victims may have been stabbed in the abdomen.
Authorities say the victims were transported to area hospitals and treated for non life-threatening injuries; the suspect fled, and the bus terminal was briefly put on lockdown. A witness told the Daily News that one of the victims was a family friend of hers, who got into an argument over "something stupid" with the suspect in a restroom prior to the slashing.
