A subway rider was stabbed in the back by an apparent stranger
Friday night as he stepped off a train at a Manhattan station.

The 29-year-old victim had just stepped off a Brooklyn-bound L
train at the First Ave. subway station near 14th St. in the East
Village at about 8:45 p.m. when another passenger suddenly plunged
a knife into his back, police and witnesses told the Daily News.

A security guard monitoring the platform witnessed the victim
looking confused and in pain, and someone fleeing up the stairs to
the street. Police later described the possible attacker as ôan
Asian man with a bag.ö

ôSomeone came up behind him and stabbed him in the back,ö said the
security guard, who gave his name as Samba. ôHe never saw it
coming.ö

ôHe yelled, æSomebody punched me.Æ But then we looked and we saw
all the blood.ö

Medics rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.

Police were hoping a review of the stationÆs close circuit video
cameras would help to identify the attacker.
