MANHATTAN — A man was slashed in the face, neck and hand in the West Village on Wednesday night, police said.

Cops said the stabbing occurred around 8 p.m. on the corner of Eighth Avenue and West Fourth Street after a dispute arose inside a nearby McDonald’s between the 24-year-old victim and a man who appeared to be homeless.

The argument continued out into the street, police said, and the homeless man slashed the victim in his face, neck and hand. He was transported to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.

Police said they have not yet apprehended the attacker.
