Both calls came in shortly before 9:30 p.m.
One of the incidents happened on 41st Street and 8th Avenue, where a group of men got into a fight outside a restaurant across from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
One of them was armed with a tire iron, and at least one other had a knife.
Three victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital. Two of them were seriously injured, while the other had a minor injury.
