Two men were stabbed outside a bar in Bayside early Saturday, according to police.

The two victims, aged 20 and 22, were stabbed at around 4:45 a.m. after getting into a dispute with a man over a woman at the bar. The stabbing took place outside Hatfields sports bar, located at 40-05 Bell Blvd., according to published reports.

The two men had struck up a conversation with the woman before the unidentified suspect became enraged and attacked the victims, police said.

The suspect then stabbed the 20-year-old man in the stomach and the 22-year-old in the shoulder, police said.

The assailant then fled the scene in an unknown direction, according to police.

Around 15 minutes later police responded to a 911 call of the two stabbed men located about a mile and a half away on the side of the Long Island Expressway. Police say the victims were traveling westbound in a vehicle when they pulled over on the LIE, before exit 27, and asked a construction worker for help.

EMS then responded to the scene and transported the victims to New York Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.

Police described the suspect as white, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 200 pounds. It is unclear whether the victims know the suspect.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

We long recognized the campus as a resource for eastern Queens and took steps to ensure any reuses served the needs of our communities.
