Authorities in New York City have detained three men allegedly involved in a brutal machete attack in Times Square on Thursday (May 30) morning. Officials said that a man was stabbed in the legs outside of a McDonald's just after 10 a.m.
The victim was rushed to the hospital in stable condition and is expected to survive.
Investigators told WABC that they believe that the stabbing was the result of a turf dispute between people selling items in the popular tourist destination.
The victim was not identified, and police are hoping they will be able to positively identify the suspects who were taken into custody following the shocking attack in broad daylight.
Officials said that the investigation remains ongoing and have asked anybody with information about the machete attack to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS.
