Dog-walking NY couple turns table on would-be mugger who was hospitalized with stab wounds: video

A New York City couple who took their dog for a walk Wednesday afternoon turned the tables on a would-be mugger who had to be treated for stab wounds at the hospital, video shows. The 37-year-old suspect snuck up behind the couple in the Woodside neighborhood of Queens around 2:40 p.m. The apparent targets were a woman holding a dog leash and a man who was riding a scooter and had his foot in a medical boot. Police had not identified them as of Thursday.

As he closes in, he throws his jacket on the ground and rushes the man from behind. The male victim fought back, slamming his attacker onto the pavement and starting to pound him with punches. The woman joined in, kicking the attacker in the back as the beatdown continued. They tussled until the mugger managed to get back to his feet and back away. 'While the dispute was happening, one of the unknown individuals stabbed him multiple times about the body,' police told Fox News Digital.

Police said the 37-year-old was taken to NYC Health and Hospitals/Elmhurst in critical but stable condition. There were no arrests as of Thursday morning, but the investigation was ongoing.
