A ruthless mob jumped, beat and stabbed a man just steps from Times Square over the weekend, disturbing new video shows.
The 36-year-old victim was buying food at a cart on Eighth Avenue near West 44th Street around 3:15 a.m. Saturday when he got into a dispute with three other people, police said.
The trio then called over an even bigger group who pounced on the man — punching and kicking him before stabbing him three times in the shoulder and back, authorities said.
