Police say the suspect ran into the business and took a swing at the victim but missed. He then swung a second time, slashing him in the left arm.

The man then ran back outside and hopped into a dark-colored BMW that fled the scene.

The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.

The FDNY says three other people were transported to the hospital with unknown injuries.
