A 23-year-old man was stabbed during a squabble with a stranger inside Central Park, cops said.

The victim was knifed in the chest and left arm at 63rd Street and the Center Drive, in a sanctuary south of the Wollman Skating Rink around 11 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

The man, described as very intoxicated and uncooperative, walked out of the park — heading south — after the stabbing, according to police sources.

EMS brought him from Sixth Avenue and Central Park South to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, the FDNY said.

Officers found a blood trail near the skating rink, according to police sources.

The suspect, who remains at large, is described as in his 30s and 5-foot-11, last seen wearing a red hoodie, cops said.

Cops initially reported a man stabbed at West 59th Street and Sixth Avenue, outside the park, but confirmed later Wednesday that was not the case.
