A man was knifed in the neck outside a Midtown Manhattan deli Tuesday evening, according to the NYPD.

The 45-year-old man was slashed in the neck after an argument spilled out onto the street near the intersection of 10th Avenue and West 52nd Street in Hell’s Kitchen around 8:15 p.m., police said.

The victim, who has not been identified, was transported to Bellevue by EMS in stable condition, cops said.

Investigators believe the victim and the knife-wielding suspect were involved in a dispute prior to the slashing. 

The suspected knifeman fled northbound on 10th Avenue after the attack, wearing a white sweater, white shorts and white sneakers, according to the NYPD.

No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.

The Hell’s Kitchen slashing follows several other knife-related incidents across the Big Apple in the past day.

A Bronx straphanger who held the emergency gate open for others was slashed repeatedly during a Monday morning clash, according to cops and a report.

In Times Square Monday afternoon, Patricia Cisneros, 49, stabbed two people, including a new mom who died of her injuries, before she threatened to kill cops while wildly waving two knives and was shot by officers.

Several hours later, a 21-year-old man was stabbed just steps away from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Saks Fifth Avenue during a Monday evening Midtown clash with a BMW driver who nearly struck him, cops and sources said.
