UPPER EAST SIDE — A Freeport man has been arrested for stabbing another man 11 times in a road rage incident in April, according to the NYPD.

Martin Luciano, 24, got into an altercation over traffic with a 45-year-old man on the FDR around 11:10 p.m. on April 23, when both men pulled over on East 61st Street near York Avenue, police said.

The victim, who hails from the Bronx, got out of his gray Toyota Corolla and tried to pull Luciano out of his black Altima. That's when Luciano repeatedly stabbed the man in the torso, police said.

The victim tried to drive himself to a hospital but he ended up crashing into a parked Mercedes Benz SUV at East 75th Street and Madison Avenue, police said.

He was taken by ambulance to the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.

Luciano was charged with attempted murder and assault but has not yet been arraigned, authorities said.

He has been arrested before, but the case has been sealed, according to police.
