A stealthy attacker stabbed a famous playwrite in the neck in Fort Greene on Sunday evening and then disappeared into the night, police said.
The victim — Tony-award winner David Henry Hwang, according to a Daily News report — told authorities an unknown assailant snuck up from behind him as he was walking on S. Portland Avenue near Lafayette Avenue at 8:50 pm, slashed him, and then fled.
The wannabe ninja didn’t say anything or try to steal anything from Hwang, according to a report.
Fortunately, he was only silent, not deadly — the scribe walked to Brooklyn Hospital after noticing he was bleeding, where doctors patched him up and released him, police said.
Authorities have released a security camera still showing a suspect, but the knife-man is only visible from behind.
