A New York City food vendor was slashed and robbed of hundreds of dollars by a rival vendor during a fight over turf in Central Park Tuesday, according to cops and sources.
A 24-year-old woman manning a food stand told police that another merchant, a 38-year-old woman, slashed her around 1:30 p.m. at 63rd Street and Center Drive in Manhattan, according to the NYPD and sources.
The 38-year-old food-slinger also snatched $500 from her rival during the dispute over turf in the park — which was bustling with New Yorkers on an abnormally warm day, sources added.
The suspect fled on foot through Heckscher Park with her husband and son, WABC reported.
The pair of vendors had another altercation on Christmas Eve, with the woman who was slashed on Tuesday being the previous aggressor, the outlet reported.
EMS took the 24-year-old woman to Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
No arrests have been made.
The incident remains under investigation.
