An enraged Fed Ex worker stabbed another man just feet from the Empire State Building on Monday afternoon, authorities said.
Suspect Madraque Tyquan Bailey, 22, allegedly attacked Jack Gindi, 28, who also works in the area, as part of an ongoing dispute between the pair, police said.
The attack occurred in front of the Woori America Bank on West 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue around 1:40 p.m., officials said.
“The guy was bleeding a lot. His whole stomach was cut open,” said a worker selling tickets to the Empire State Building. “I saw when the ambulance got here. They lifted his shirt — I thought he got shot because there was a wound in the front and in the back. It must have been a big knife!”
Gindi was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and was not expected to die, a police source said.
Bailey was taken into custody. It was not immediately clear what the feud was about.
