The stabbing happened after a group of people approached the victim and started a verbal dispute, according to police. A physical altercation then began, and the group repeatedly punched and kicked the victim, who also ended up with the stab wound.

The suspects fled the area on foot and were last seen entering the Times Square subway station, police said.

Authorities recovered a large knife at the scene.

Times Square has been the location of several violent crimes in recent weeks involving migrants, including the mob beating of a pair of NYPD officers.

Several migrants have been charged in that incident in which they kicked and punched the officers after being told to move along 42nd Street last month. Many of them were initially released with no bail after their arrest, prompting scathing criticism of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
