A pantsless, barefoot attacker stabbed another man with a kitchen knife during a Monday morning clash inside a Hell’s Kitchen apartment, cops and sources said.
The two men, 43 and 34, got into a heated argument just after 9 a.m. inside the prewar building on West 45th Street near Ninth Avenue, authorities said.
The younger man knifed his rival in the left arm and then took off, running barefoot on the icy streets, according to the sources.
He wore only a gray sweater and no pants, according to the sources.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, cops said.
The two men know each other, but their exact relationship is unclear, police said. The circumstances leading to their violent clash are also not yet known.
No arrests had been made by later in the afternoon.
