That sparked an argument that ended with the urinator stabbing the victim in the right side of his stomach.
Medics rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was expected to recover from a punctured lung.
The attacker ran off and is being sought.
Cops released a surveillance image of the suspect Thursday and are asking the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down.
He is described as slim with a medium complexion and was wearing a blue vest over a black hoodie, gray pants and brown boots.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
