A man was stabbed Thursday evening in front of John Jay College on West 59th Street, a police spokesperson told West Side Rag.

A 28-year-old man was stabbed in the back around 7:15 p.m. outside of 524 West 59th Street, which is two avenues west of Columbus Circle, police said.

The victim was rushed to the nearby Mount Sinai West with non-life threatening injuries, NYPD added. As of Friday, police did not have any information on what led up to the stabbing, but the spokesperson said officers were going through video cameras surrounding the area.

There have been no arrests.

The stabbing on Thursday on West 59th Street comes five days after a man was robbed at knifepoint on Broadway and West 60th Street. Police did not provide any information about the two incidents possibly being connected.

WSR will update this story if we learn more.

Obviously these people should not be released to the street any time soon if they are ever caught. My fear is that there is a sickness going around where otherwise decent humans feel more sympathy for the perpetrators rather than the victims.

That same photo? Wasn’t that used last week for the same headline?
Is this a new weekly feature?
