A man shocked the breakfast crowd at a Queens McDonald’s Tuesday when he strolled in with a knife stuck in his back while chatting on a cellphone.
Andrew Hardy, 53, his shirt drenched in blood, appeared remarkably composed as he paced about the Jamaica restaurant at around 10 a.m., witnesses said.
“He was cool and calm. But you could tell he was shaken up,” said Hardy’s pal, Michel Green, 43, of Jamaica. “I went to pull the knife out, but someone said, ‘No, no! It might have hit an artery!’ ”
Another customer said Hardy seemed to be saying his final goodbyes on his cellphone.
“I’m pretty sure he was on the phone talking to somebody in his family or a loved one,” witness Tromaine Yancey toldWCBS/Channel 2. “He was talking to them and telling them it might be the last time he’s speaking to them, he just wanted them to hear his voice.”
Yancey said worried fast-food patrons put down their Egg McMuffins to keep Hardy steady on his feet until medics could arrive.
“Everybody was standing there to make sure he didn’t fall backwards on the knife,” she said.
Hardy was knifed a few minutes earlier when he tried to break up a mob of men hurling glass bottles at each other on Sutphin Boulevard near 91st Street, sources said. The brawl was just two blocks from the busy Jamaica Station commuter hub, which was bustling with Long Island Rail Road, subway and AirTrain riders.

"The man who stabbed Hardy was wearing a white shirt, according to police sources"
Well that certainly helps narrow down the list of suspects.
Andy Hardy, eh? Always liked his movies.
I’ll have the pancakes, extra syrup, black coffee, six pints of blood, and 16 stitches in my back please. Oh, do you take EBT & Obamacare?
When I first started reading, I thought it was one of those “walks into a bar” jokes.

Hmmmmm? Odumbo’s sons again?
“Fries with that?”
Was it Chris McDaniel?
You get my vote for best line of the day.

Probably better than “he was a black male”...
Knife control.
Was it Chris McDaniel?
All the McDaniel voters that went to McDonalds should feel disenfrenchfried.
Very useful description!
Remember when the police gave out actual personal physical details of the criminal and not just of clothing (that could be changed seconds later).
But that did allow them to get in the word "white!"
Man walks into McDonald’s with knife sticking out of his back
There is a joke somewhere in here..........
Gee if we could only BAN knives this senseless act would not have occurred.
What if he’d walked into Hardee’s with a clown in his back?
LOL
I was at my bank last week and noticed a “ruler” that ran up the door frame and asked about it.
The teller said it was to help describe robbers.
It went up to a full 8’ high.
I said “Really?”
;D
“Knife in the back...?” Hummm, must have been a conservative coming from a GOPe meeting...
