Police say the pair got into an argument with the victim that escalated into an assault, ending with the suspects viciously slashing the 42-year-old with knives. Law enforcement sources said the man suffered deep lacerations to the torso, neck, and back.
The victim was rushed to Mount Sinai West Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.
