Career Thug In NYC Messed With The Wrong Couple, Gets Stabbed 7 Time

This is the shocking moment a would-be attacker in New York City was stabbed seven times by an intended victim after his plan to ambush a couple spectacularly backfired.

Surveillance footage shows how the 37-year-old attacker appeared to ambush two people walking with their dog near 49th and Broadway in Woodside on Wednesday afternoon, according to the NYPD.

The assailant, seen in video wearing a blue sweatshirt, throws a garment onto the floor before lunging at his victim from behind.

The victim ducks and turns, grabbing his attacker near the neck and pulling him to the floor before unleashing a flurry of attacks with a knife as his companion joins the assault.

Held to the floor, the original attacker is helpless to react as the couple beat him in broad daylight, with bystanders only looking on as the commotion unfolds.

The assailant eventually gets to his feet but is restrained by his intended victim, seen wearing a medical boot on his right foot, and held back from escaping.
