An apparently homeless man slashed two men when they confronted him for throwing trash in a broad-daylight Brooklyn attack, authorities and sources said.
The slasher — seen without a shirt on in surveillance images — was rifling through the garbage and tossing items on the ground around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on Garden Street near Flushing Avenue in Bushwick when two men, 59 and 28, stopped him in his tracks, cops said.
That’s when the barechested trash flinger turned violent – pulling out two knives and slashing the older man in the neck and the younger man in the right thigh, according to police and sources.
Both men were taken to Woodhull Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition.
A surveillance photo obtained by The Post shows the shirtless attacker walking on the sidewalk, with what appears to be a black trash bag slung over his shoulder.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
