A 30-year-old man was slashed in the face and back by a random nut while walking in the East Village over the weekend, police said.
The victim, who is from Newark, NJ, told cops he was walking in front of 208 E. 6th St. around 4:30 p.m. — heading to a cafe to meet a friend while wearing headphones and looking at his phone — when an unknown Asian man came up behind him and pushed him against a wall.
The attacker cut his face and back with a knife while screaming, ‘F— you! F— you!” the man told police.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital and treated for his injuries. Police sources said his face was cut from ear to mouth.
