A New York City man had his throat slashed after he spotted a man urinating on a car and asked him to stop, according to police.

Police said an unidentified individual was urinating on a car when a 66-year-old man asked him to stop. The alleged public urinator brandished a box cutter and slashed the man’s neck, causing “severe laceration and bleeding,” police said. 

The suspect fled the scene on foot. The victim was transferred by EMS to Mount Sinai in critical condition.
