A migrant was stabbed near a Manhattan hotel-turned-shelter Tuesday evening after he got into a dispute with a group of men, cops and law enforcement sources said.
The man, 42, was knifed in the left hip around 6 p.m. outside 713 8th Avenue just steps from the Row NYC hotel , which was converted into a migrant shelter earlier this year, authorities said.
The victim, a resident of the shelter, was quarreling with a group when the suspect pulled a cutting instrument and attacked him, police and sources said.

The perp, who sources said was dressed in all-black, fled the scene and the victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, police said.
It was not immediately known if the alleged stabber was also a migrant, sources said.
