A 38-year-old bystander was knifed in the back early Friday by a driver who confronted him for recording a road rage clash in Midtown, cops and sources said.
The victim started taking video when he spotted a Jeep Grand Cherokee driver sparring with another motorist around 6 a.m. at West 49th Street and Seventh Avenue, according to authorities and sources.
The SUV driver stormed up to him and snarled, “What do you want? Do you want something?” sources said.
When the driver got in the bystander’s face, the victim pushed him back in self-defense, according to the sources.
Then the driver swung at the videographer with a blade, cutting him on his back right rib cage, cops and sources said.
The victim was treated at the scene and refused further medical attention, police said.
The attacker, who was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and blue jeans, whizzed away in his white Jeep and had not been caught by Friday evening, cops and sources said.
Meanwhile, the other motorist involved in the initial feud did not file a police report, according to the sources.
