#Elderly man slashed while collecting cans in unprovoked NYC attack

An elderly man was slashed in an unprovoked attack as he collected cans on a Bronx street this week, cops said.

The 81-year-old man was at Brook Avenue and East 167th Street in Morrisania around 4:20 a.m. Wednesday when two men and a woman approached him, according to police.

Without saying a word, one of the men slashed him on the right side of the face, causing a deep cut.

The trio took off on foot, heading north toward Brook Avenue, cops said.

The octogenarian was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition. Police are still hunting all three suspects.
