Tour-Bus Driver Stabs Rival In Lower Manhattan, Police Say

FINANCIAL DISTRICT, NY — A tour-bus driver stabbed his competition during a Sunday argument over a parking spot near Battery Park, police said.

The brawl began at 3 p.m. when both men tried to snag a coveted parking spot beside the Lower Manhattan park at the intersection of State Street and Pearl Street, cops said.

Each man jumped out of their empty double-decker buses and began arguing over the spot. The heated feud took a violent turn when one man pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the other driver in the right arm, authorities said.

The suspect hopped back in his bus and fled east on State Street, police said.

The 39-year-old stabbing victim worked for Big Bus Tours and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
