A man was stabbed to death inside a deli in Midtown on Tuesday, police said.

The victim, a 36-year-old man who lived in Manhattan, was inside the New Star Café on West 40th Street when he got into an argument with his attacker around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

He was stabbed twice in the torso before stumbling outside and collapsing in front of Hale & Hearty, just steps away from CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism, police said.

He was found bleeding on the sidewalk and rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Announcement of the identity of the deceased is pending proper family notification.

A description of the suspect was not immediately available.
