Customer of a New York cafe, employees fight victim's attackers: video

Wild video captured the moment a 39-year-old man was stabbed in the neck at a Manhattan cafe on Tuesday, leading heroic customers and staff to fight off his merciless attackers.

The clip obtained by The Post shows the shirtless victim falling into the Milo Coffee Shop in Washington Heights with four men running behind him shortly before 6 p.m.

Two employees appear to prepare food as chaos unfolds at 2440 Amsterdam Ave.

Surveillance video captured the chaos unfolding inside Milo Coffee Shop during a stabbing.

“They come inside and stab him,” the cafe owner, who did not give his name, told NBC New York.

Cafe workers then sprang into action — with one employee jumping over the counter while her co-workers fought the bullies away from the cowering victim, according to the video.

Moments later, another employee and a customer grabbed chairs and punched two of the attackers.

One of the men is seen squeezing the head of an attacker, prompting the violent perpetrators to eventually leave the store.

The victim was taken to hospital in stable condition.

The victim was rushed to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, according to police.

The owner said they helped save his life.

“We step in and try to defend him. We even fight with them so that they don’t kill this guy,” he said.

“Thank God nothing worse happened.”

His attackers were still at large Wednesday evening, police said.
