A drunk man, armed with a knife, attacked a 22-year-old guy and stabbed him in the leg area.. The incident occurred on the Long Island train, New York.

It is not known how this attack would end, but several men dressed in traditional Santa Claus costumes rushed to protect the victim.

As it turned out later, they previously participated in the annual SantaCon.

Matthew Monte, a witness who was in the same train car, told NBC about an armed man who provoked the incident: “He was attacked by a group of people who managed to keep the guy until the police arrived. But even after that, he continued to resist the arrest "

The victim was taken to Elmhurst hospital immediately after the train stopped..

According to Fox News, his injuries do not pose a threat to life.. The police did not disclose the identity of the attacker and did not report what charges would be brought against him. The train was reportedly delayed for an hour during the incident investigation..
