<\/p>\nA security guard at New York University stabbed his boss five times in the back early Saturday in Greenwich Village, cops said.<\/p>\n
The violence erupted shortly after 1 a.m. inside NYU’s residential hall building on Broome Street when an argument between the 45-year-old NYU public safety officer supervisor and a 38-year-old underling “turned physical,” law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n
“Two security guards at an NYU facility started fighting and one stabbed the other,” an NYPD spokesman said, confirming the victim was stabbed in the torso, neck and shoulder.<\/p>\n
The supervisor suffered two fractured ribs and a collapsed lung, police sources told The Post. <\/p>\n

He was transported to NYU Langone Hospital for treatment, the sources said. <\/p>\n
The victim’s injuries are not life-threatening and he was listed in stable condition, police said.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-8 perpetrator ran off, and was last seen wearing his security uniform, a navy blue NYU Security jacket, navy blue cargo pants and a backpack, the sources said.<\/p>\n
NYU did not immediately return messages.<\/p>\n
