MANHATTAN — A man slashed his girlfriend with a machete after she stabbed him during an argument at a Midtown East apartment, police said.

Karen Capote, 21, got into an argument with her beau, Dorian Feliciano, 25, about noon Monday inside the apartment on East 52nd Street near Second Avenue, the NYPD said.

The spat turned violent when Capote grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Feliciano in the stomach, police said.

He responded by pulling out a machete and slashing her arm, officials said.

Both were arrested and charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon before being sent to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation, police said.

Neither had been arraigned as of Tuesday morning, according the the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Police did not have information about what the pair was arguing about.
