Two men were stabbed with what appeared to be a small sword while on a bus in upper Manhattan Tuesday afternoon, leaving one of them in critical condition, cops said.
The incident happened on the M100 bus at 129th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattanville around 3 p.m., cops said.
A young man who witnessed the stabbing told the Post it appeared unprovoked.
“I got on the bus and I was looking around and I saw a man unshealth his weapon, knife,” Oliver Reed said. “I don’t know if it was a machete. He proceeded to stab one man, and slash him a couple times. I don’t know what possessed him to but he walked over to another man closer to the front of the bus and slashed him.”
A 44-year-old was stabbed in the leg and a 58-year-old was in critical condition after he was cut on the face.
Police said both were expected to survive.
Reed said passengers were frightened.
“I proceeded to tell the bus driver to stop the bus, open the doors, and I was basically trying to open the doors myself, he said.
“When the bus stopped, we all got off and the attacker got off the bus and tried to hide,” Reed said, explaining that he called cops himself.
The man was taken into custody at the scene, cops said. An MTA official said the bus driver wasn’t involved and followed proper protocol.
