Responding to a 911 call at 9:50 a.m., Saturday, police found a 42-year-old man with slash wounds to his torso, neck, arm, and back, inside Central Park at West 67th Street and Central Park West.
Police sources say the victim had been involved in a “physical argument” with two other men when he was cut, and that he was “highly uncooperative.”
He was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside hospital in stable condition.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.

Yup. But the police continue to gaslight us with false crime numbers. At least this one got reported – because the person needed to go to the hospital.
It’s not the police gaslighting, it’s what is actually a crime now that keeps numbers low. Everything is a misdemeanor now.
The victim was “highly uncooperative.” What does that tell you about this crime?
If you were the “victim” of a multiple stabbing at the hands of two perps would you be ‘highly uncooperative?’
Does this look like the kind of crime that endangers you, or does it look like a beating to a person who owns a loanshark, or an argument between drug dealers where two beat or stab a third one?
They are not false numbers. We have no idea what happened, what the argument was about at 9:50am on a Saturday morning, July 4th Weekend. Hopefully he is ok, but everyone needs to be extra careful out there.
I’m not looking to get into an argument, but a recent report from the New York City Department of Transportation raises serious questions about what we are being told about crime. For example, the report (and as published by the New York Times) showed that approximately 90,000 packages are stolen (real crime) across New York City every day. EVERY DAY! Where are those numbers in this report?
I found the Dept of Transportation article you referred to. It stresses that 90,000 packages are stolen AND/OR LOST.
Why would the Dept of Transportation be involved in crime statistics? It sounds as though the source and data used to come to conclusions need to be revised.
