A verbal dispute then ensued between the man and the unknown individual.
The man and his wife exited the train at the East 170 Street and Jerome Avenue train station in the Bronx, and the suspect followed them down the stairs to the street, according to police.
The suspect then punched the man in the back of the head, displayed a knife, and began to stab him, the NYPD said.
When the victim's wife attempted to intervene to assist her husband police said the suspect pushed her down the stairs.
The suspect then fled the location on foot.
The man sustained stab wounds to his arm and right side of his torso.
His wife sustained injuries to her right leg and right side of her torso.
Both victims were transported via EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition.
