A MAN was allegedly disemboweled by a group of people in the Bronx after he apparently questioned why they were staring at him.

The 28-year-old man, whose name was not released by police, saw a group of people eyeing him aggressively at around 1am today, according to the New York Post.

When the victim walked up to the group to ask what they were looking at, one of the assailants pulled out a sharp object of some sort and slashed him across the stomach.

The attack caused the victim’s intestines to begin spilling out, the Post reported.

However, cops said that the man did survive the attack. After the slashing, he was able to make his way over to a nearby firehouse where somebody called an ambulance, according to police.

Cops told the Post that he is in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital in Mott Haven after the attack on Washington Avenue and East 167th Street in Morrisania.

New York City is currently dealing with a steep increase in crime as it grapples with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide calls for police reform.

For a month-long period ending on June 14, the city experienced a big uptick in murder, burglary and grand larceny auto crimes from the same month-long period last year. As of June 14, the murder rate in the city was 25% higher than it was during the same period in 2019, CNN reported.

However, rates of rape, robbery and grand larceny crimes have declined since last year.

The crime stats were released as the city is dealing with the reopening process after months of COVID-19 lockdown, as well as mass protests calling for police reform in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The stats also came as NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea announced that the department would do away with “plain-clothes” cops, and reassign those officers to other roles, CNN reported.
