MANHATTAN — A pair of workers at a Lenny's sandwich shop in Turtle Bay got into a boozy brawl Sunday night that left one stabbed to the neck and the other in cuffs, the sandwich shop's officials said.

The furious food fight erupted inside the eatery at 1024 Second Ave., near East 54th Street, just after 11 p.m. leaving a 24-year-old worker stabbed to the neck.

The unidentified victim was taken to New York Hospital in stable condition, officials said. 

"The only thing I can comment on is that there's no drinking allowed on the premises," said Katherine Chung, Lenny's director of human resources. "These employees were in violation of company code."

Chung said she did not know the specifics of the incident or have names of the workers involved, but she did say the altercation occurred after hours and that no supervisor was present.

Police did not immediately have information on the arrest.
