A 22-year-old woman was stabbed to death by a woman she was arguing with across the street across from Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal, police said Wednesday.
The victim was stabbed in the chest on W. 40th St. near Eighth Ave. in Midtown about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday, cops said.
Medics rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital but she could not be saved. Her name was not immediately released.
Her killer got away and is being sought.
It’s not yet clear to cops what sparked the argument between the two women. A man who knows the victim and was at the scene refused to cooperate with cops, police sources said.
Just over two hours earlier, a shooting erupted half a mile away after at least three men got into an argument near W. 33rd St. and Broadway.
One of the people involved in the fracas pulled out a gun and fired off a shot, striking a 33-year-old man in the left leg just before 8 p.m., cops and witnesses said.
Pedestrians scrambled when the gunshot rang out, according to an ice cream vendor who was in the area.
“[The victim] was sitting on the floor shirtless and bleeding,” said Mike Larry, 32. “He was saying, ‘You shot me in the leg! I want my money!’”
Medics rushed the victim to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
The gunman ran off and has not been caught. Cops took one person involved in the fight into custody. Charges against the person were pending.
