FINANCIAL DISTRICT — A woman was slashed inside a William Street cafe by her boyfriend Monday morning, officials said.

The woman, who is in her 20s, was cut by a man inside Koyzina Kafe, at 62 William St., near Cedar Street, about 7:30 a.m., according to NYPD and FDNY officials said.

“She’s going to be fine," said NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said Monday, adding that the couple was from New Jersey. "We’re peeling back what happened right now, but it looks to be a boyfriend-girlfriend dispute.”

Koyzina manager Tom Desantis, 28, said the couple was having a "domestic argument" when the man "cut her with something."

The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital where she's listed in stable condition, police said.

Police did not immediately release the suspect's name or charges against him.
