New York City, New York – A violent brawl outside a Lower East Side bowling alley early Monday resulted in a 21-year-old man being slashed in the neck, marking just one of three violent street attacks that occurred in Manhattan within a span of fewer than two hours, according to the authorities.

Following the incident, the victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where his condition, initially critical, later stabilized. The suspects involved in the attack fled south on Essex Street, and as of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
In a separate incident around the same time, a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the torso at 12th Avenue and West 34th Street in Hudson Yards near the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital and listed in stable condition.
The authorities are on the lookout for a man and a woman who fled north on 11th Avenue following the attack. The motive behind this stabbing is currently under investigation.
In another violent altercation that took place earlier, a 23-year-old man was slashed on his fingers and tased in the chest during a brawl with three strangers in Midtown. The incident unfolded on Sixth Avenue near West 47th Street, resulting in injuries to multiple individuals.
The chaos during the brawl led to one victim being hospitalized at Bellevue with non-life-threatening injuries. However, no arrests have been made in connection to any of the violent incidents that occurred in Manhattan within a short time frame.
