WEEKEND FRENZY
'Hate,' guns and knives in 7 attacks
A young man was knifed on a lower Manhattan subway train by an attacker who made an apparent anti-white comment — one of at least seven violentcrime victims in the Big Apple over the weekend, cops say.
The 24-year-old victim and three friends boarded a southbound N train at Chambers Street around 10 p.m. on Saturday, cops said.
After the train started moving, they heard a passenger in a group of black and Hispanic men say, “Oh, white people,” a police spokeswoman said.
A fight broke out when one of the victim’s friends asked the man what he meant by the comment, according to police.
One of the men displayed a knife and stabbed the victim in the right side of the hip, police said, and two other men punched him in the face.
The victim, whose identity wasn’t released, was taken to Methodist Hospital, where he was in stable condition.
When the train stopped at Pacific Street station, a 17-, 18- and 24-year-old were arrested with charges pending, cops said.
Running red
In another bloody incident on Saturday, a 58-year-old man was stabbed in the chest with a large kitchen knife during a verbal dispute at 38-33 29th St. in Astoria, Queens, around 8 p.m., cops said.
He was taken to New YorkPresbyterian hospital in stable condition. There were no immediate arrests, police said.
Then, just before midnight in Manhattan, a 33-year-old man was found with a stab wound to his back at West 125th Street and Morningside Avenue in Harlem, cops said.
He was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside hospital in stable condition, cops said.
Police were looking for video of the incident and a weapon. Four men were being sought in the Manhattan crime.
A shooting also left a 28-yearold man wounded in the right leg in Harlem that night when gunfire broke out in the Frederick Douglass Houses around 6 p.m. for unknown reasons, cops said.
The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside in stable condition.
The next day
The violence continued Sunday when a man was stabbed in the stomach just before 1 p.m. at the 53rd Street R train station in Brooklyn, police said.
The victim was taken to Lutheran Hospital.
Shortly after 2 p.m., two other men were shot in separate incidents, police said. One man was shot in the stomach inside an apartment at 375 Pulaski St. and was in stable condition at Kings County Hospital.
And a 26-year-old man was shot in the shoulder in Manhattan. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and was also stable.
