He was charged with assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, harassment and disorderly conduct, cops said.

Sergeant first knifed the man across the left wrist after the two argued on the stairs of the southbound entrance to the station around 10:15 p.m., cops and sources said.

The suspect  then ran up some stairs and got into an argument with the woman, Imani-Ciara Pizarro, before punching her in the back of the head and then stabbed her in the neck near a turnstile.
