An attacker armed with a box cutter slashed a man for asking him to move his bags inside a tree-lined pedestrian plaza in Tribeca late Sunday, cops said.
The 27-year-old victim was viciously slashed across the left cheek inside Bogardus Plaza near Hudson and Reade streets around 11:10 p.m., police said.
The assailant flew into a rage when the victim asked to move his bags, police said. It’s not clear exactly where the bags had been placed at the time.
The injured man was taken to Bellevue Hospital with a severe cut on his face, cops said. His injury is not considered life-threatening.
The suspect, meanwhile, fled into the nearby Chambers Street Nos. 1, 2 and 3 subway station and has not been caught, authorities said.
The attacker, described as a man with a dark complexion in his mid-30s, standing about 5-foot-11 and weighing about 180 pounds, was last seen wearing a gray jacket and black hat, cops said.
