Stabbings in Times Square

The NY Post reports that five people were stabbed in Times Square last night before midnight. In one incident, a man, who had just seen Saw V, was stabbed in the neck "in front of 250 W. 39th St., near Eighth Avenue." And the attackers were in a large group of people (possibly as many as 20). He was taken to Bellevue and is expected to survive. And in another apparently separate incident, four people were stabbed on 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue--a source said that the "dispute appeared to be gang related." There was no word on those victims' conditions. Be careful out there--the machete- and knife-wielding gangs have been causing trouble in Williamsburg and parts of Queens.
