A tattooed man in a Chicago Bulls jersey repeatedly stabbed a man during a weekend clash inside a Chelsea deli, cops said.
The menace stormed up to the 36-year-old victim inside Cafe Deli-Cious on West 23rd Street near Sixth Avenue around 7:45 p.m. Sunday and started a heated argument, police said.
The enraged man stepped out, but then returned a second time, flashed a 'sharp object' and stabbed the victim in the stomach and chest, authorities said.
