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 violent-crime victims in the Big Apple over the weekend, cops say.
The 24-year-old victim boarded a southbound N subway with three friends at Chambers Street around 10 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
While on the train, a man in another group said “Oh, white people,” a police spokeswoman said. The men in the group were black and Hispanic, cops said.
A fight broke out when one of the victim’s friends asked the man what he meant by the comment, cops said.
One of the men displayed a knife and stabbed the victim in the right hip, police said. The other two men punched him in the face.
The victim, whose identity wasn’t released, was taken to Methodist Hospital in stable condition.
When the train reached the Pacific Street Station, a 17-, 18- and 24-year-old were taken into custody with charges pending, cops said.
In another bloody incident, a 58-year-old man was stabbed in the chest with a large kitchen knife during a verbal dispute at 38-33 29th Street in Astoria, Queens, around 8 p.m., cops said.
He was taken to New York-Presbyterian in stable condition.
