Another vendor said he helped the wounded man sit to await first responders.
“He was just sitting there, covered in blood,” the vendor said.
“They’re always warring over turf. It’s crazy out here,” the vendor said, indicating that the men were trying to hawk CDs to tourists.
WABC-TV also reported that the dispute was part of a turf war over who would be able to stand where to push CDs onto Times Square visitors.
