An IHOP employee is recovering after being stabbed in the shoulder during a dispute with a customer early Saturday morning.

The restaurant worker and patron got into an argument around 4:30 a.m. at the location near East 14th Street and 2nd Avenue in Gramercy Park in New York City, police told FreedomNewsTV.

Another person who tried to break up the fight was slashed in the hand by the suspect, but refused medical treatment.

It is unclear what the fight was about. The suspect took off from the restaurant in a black car.

The employee is 20 years old, according to New York Daily News. He was taken to an area hospital in stable condition. 

In July, a 16-year-old was arrested for shooting and killing a 16-year-old IHOP employee in Georgia while he was working, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. Investigators believed the teens knew each other and had been "engaged in an ongoing dispute."

Back in November 2020, a maskless man at a New York City IHOP restaurant was accused of slashing a worker after employees asked him to cover his face to meet coronavirus guidelines, police said.
