A man who ambushed a couple walking in Queens, New York, on Wednesday afternoon got a surprise: his intended victims responded by beating him up and stabbing him several times.

Surveillance video showed a man, who used a medical scooter due to an apparent foot injury, strolling alongside a woman holding a puppy when the 37-year-old attacker approached them from behind, threw his coat on the ground, and jumped on the man on the scooter.

But according to The New York Post, the man on the scooter hurled his attacker to the ground and started punching him as the woman joined him. The would-be attacker attempted to get free but the couple kept hitting him.

The three people finally separated, but kept shouting at each other. The initial assailant could be seen in the video with a wound on his head. Bystanders intervened, and the attacker was taken to Elmhurst Hospital. The NYPD said he had multiple stab wounds but was in stable condition.

“No arrests have been made in the case, but sources said cops are looking for two perpetrators,” the Post reported.

Another stabbing occurred in Queens on Wednesday. A 15-year-old boy was stabbed in the head by someone wearing a ski mask after the boy left August Martin High School. The assailant crept up from behind and stabbed the boy in his head and shoulder. The boy was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center by EMTs. He was listed in stable condition.
