QUEENS - A dispute over being bumped on line led to a near fatal attack when three men punched and stabbed the victim with a broken bottle, cops said.

At around 4:45 am on April 7, a 20-year-old male was on line inside a business near 210-08 Jamaica Avenue when another man bumped into him. The victim and the aggressor got into a verbal dispute that quickly escalated. 

Cops said two of the suspect’s friends jumped in and started punching the victim. One of the attackers took a broken bottle and stabbed the victim in the abdomen and slashed his left arm and right wrist, cops said. The cuts caused severe bleeding. 

The victims ran out of the store and into a waiting dark colored Honda sedan. 

The victim was rushed to Mercy Hospital by private means. He was listed in stable condition.  

The NYPD released surveillance video of the three suspects wanted for the stabbing. The first suspect is described as a male with a medium complexion. He was last seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, black durag and dark pants. 

The second suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and white and black colored sneakers. The third suspect is described as a male with a light complexion. He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, prescription eyeglasses, green shirt and ripped jeans.
