Someone flagged down NYPD cops standing on a post, alerting them of the midday attack, cops said. 

The wounded man was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

The suspected stabber, described as a man wearing a black jacket, fled the scene and hadn’t been caught by the early evening. 

The motive for the violence remains under investigation.
