COPS RELEASED cell phone footage on Sunday showing a fight that led to the stabbing of a 19-year-old on a subway in Brooklyn.

The wounded young man stumbled off the train once it reached Chauncey St.-Broadway station, officials said. His attacker (inset) remained on the subway.

Medics rushed the teenager to Brookdale University Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.
