LOWER EAST SIDE — A woman stabbed a 29-year-old man in the leg after an argument inside the East Broadway subway stop on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Nicole Navaro, 29, stabbed the man in the left thigh with a box cutter about 12:40 p.m., according to a criminal complaint.

Navaro exited the station and threw the box cutter into a sewer in front of 3 Pike St., according to the complaint. She was arrested a block away from the station the same day, police said.

The man refused medical attention at the scene, according to the NYPD.

Navaro was charged with assault, according to the criminal complaint. Her attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

► A 22-year-old man feared for his safety after Xuxi Lin, 25, threw a water bottle and a plastic business card holder at his head on Feb. 24, according to a criminal complaint.

The man was visiting a friend inside 59 Canal St. — a storefront used by three different intercity bus companies — at 7:17 p.m., when Lin came up to him began asking him questions like “Who are you?” police said. Lin then threw the water bottle at the man and missed, but the business card holder hit his head, “causing physical injury and pain,” police said.

“If I ever see you here again, I’ll stab you,” Lin said in Mandarin as he walked away from the man, according to the NYPD.

Police said Lin was arrested later that day at 19 Allen St. inside a bus headed for Atlanta. It was unclear which bus company he used. An employee inside did not have any information about the incident.

Lin was charged with assault, attempted assault and harrassment. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
