A Bronx man was arrested for stabbing one man and slashing two others in Times Square, cops said Wednesday.
Breshan Bennett, 24, was charged with assault, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon for the Tuesday night clash on W. 50th St. near Seventh Ave., cops said.
Bennett was bickering with the men across the street from an Applebee’s when he pulled a knife about 10:35 p.m., cops said.
He allegedly stabbed a 24-year-old man in the torso and slashed him in the leg, slashed a 26-year-old man on both his hands and one leg, and slashed a third unidentified man in the leg.
The wounded men were taken by medics to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
It’s not clear what sparked the argument.
Bennett’s arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court was pending Wednesday.
