The incident happened at around 6:15 p.m. on Monday outside a restaurant on Bayard Street in Chinatown.
Police said the victim is 55 years old and is expected to be OK.
CBS2 spoke with Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, who represents the district in which the attacked happened.
“It’s heartbreaking and obviously very devastating and traumatic for my community. I cannot understand why people can’t just see that we are also human,” Niou said.
The suspect was arrested, but no charges were immediately filed against him.
