The NYPD released images of the four suspects on Tuesday.

The two victims—a 20-year-old woman and 14-year-old girl—were at State and Bridge streets when the women got into a dispute with them around 9:40 p.m.

During the argument, one of the women pepper-sprayed the 20-year-old, while a second woman stabbed the 14-year-old in the thigh with a kitchen knife, police said.

The group then fled into the Bowling Green subway station, according to police.

The teen victim was transported in stable condition to New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, while the woman was treated at the scene by EMS.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
