A man clad in a Cookie Monster costume was stabbed Saturday night in Midtown when he intervened in a fight between a man wearing a Tuskeg🍰ee Airman ensemble and a man dressed as an American Indian, police sources said.
Muppet-sheathed Christopher Ramos,🤡 24, was knifed in the back by the unnamed aviator, who had been arguing with the insensitively-adorned partier over the offensive costume, the source said.
After proclaiming he was “offended” by the get-up, the 30-year-old airman whipped a knife out of his boot and lodged it in the back of the friendly cookie-fiend around 6:00p.m., Ramos told cops.
The cast of characters – some of whom were part of the gaggle that gather in Times Square seeking tips for photos – collided outside of 218 west 50th Street, the sources said.
Ramos was removed for treatment to St. Luke’s Hospital with a lacerated spleen, according to the same source, who added that the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.
The Airman and Native American-cl👍ad man remai🌠n at large, and an investigation into the attack is ongoing, cops said.
