Two would-be muggers jumped a man, repeatedly stabbing him in the back, near Bryant Park early Wednesday, cops said.

The 58-year-old victim was ambushed around 1 a.m. by the men, who demanded he cough up his belongings on Sixth Avenue near West 42nd Street in Midtown, police said. 

At least one of the suspects then knifed him “multiple times” in the back, the NYPD said. 

The pair ultimately ran off empty-handed, police said.

The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said.
