Three men were stabbed in Lower Manhattan early Wednesday morning in what police believe started out as an argument. The NYPD is now hunting for a suspect behind the violent assault on three men off Delancey Street in the Lower East Side. It happened around 1:15 a.m. Investigators said the suspect, in his 40s, got into an argument with the victims not far from the Bowery subway station. They said he pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victims before fleeing from the area. A 26-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach; a 21-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder; and a 19-year-old man was stabbed in the arm. All three were taken to Bellevue Hospital to be treated. Police said the suspect was wearing a black top hat, sweatshirt, dark pants and dark gloves.
