A livery driver was stabbed by his passenger four times in East Harlem over an argument about the fare, cop sources said Monday.
The passenger, who was in the car with two women and a child on Lexington Avenue near East 115th Street at around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, knifed the driver in the lower back, the sources said.

A caller traced to a hospital in Hawaii left a voicemail message at a Greenwich Village church threatening to bomb it, police sources said Monday.
The Rev. James Cuddy, 40, told police somebody calling himself “Soloman” left the threatening message at St. Joseph’s Church on Sixth Avenue near Washington Place at about 11:15 a.m. Sunday, the sources said.
“ISIS Soldiers from Brooklyn have planted a bomb in the Catholic church cathedral,” the message stated, according to the sources.
“Bomb will go off Monday at 12 a.m.,” caller said.
The call was traced back to Kona Community Hospital in Kealakekua, Hawaii, the sources said.
