Police are looking for a pair who allegedly stabbed two men in Times Square early Sunday morning.
A NYPD spokesperson told Gothamist that the two 25-year-old men were stabbed outside the Madame Tussauds located at 234 West 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. The block where the alleged stabbing took place is heavily trafficked—in addition to a Madam Tussauds, there's an Applebees, a Dave & Buster's, and a Hilton Hotel on the block.
Police believe that the assailants were a man and a woman.
One of the victims was stabbed in the chest and the other victim was stabbed in the left shoulder, police said. ABC 7 New York reports that one of the two men was stabbed in the neck.
Both of the victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital and were released in stable condition.
The stabbing was the second violent incident to occur in Midtown this weekend. On Saturday morning around 2:20 a.m., police found 27-year-old Terrance Walker fatally shot on the corner of West 40th Street and Sixth Avenue near Bryant Park.
No arrests have been made in either incident and investigations are ongoing.
