Two men were stabbed, one fatally, in a Lower East Side park on Thursday night, authorities said.

Police officers found an unidentified man stabbed in the chest, and a 24-year-old man knifed in the torso around 8:30 p.m. inside Sara D. Roosevelt Park near Delancey and Broome streets in lower Manhattan, the NYPD said.

Both men were rushed to Bellevue Hospital where the unidentified man was pronounced dead, cops said.

The 24-year-old man is in stable condition.

No arrests have been made.

The NYPD didn’t provide additional information late Thursday night.

This is at least the second violent incident in the park — named after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s mother – in a week.

A 65-year-old man was slashed in the face with an unknown object last Friday night. 

The green space has long been troubled by drug use and homelessness
