    A 33-year-old man was stabbed and robbed during a clash over food inside Washington Square Park late Wednesday, cops said.

    The victim was on the north side of the iconic Greenwich Village park around 9:30 p.m. when the spat erupted, authorities said.

    The assailant knifed the parkgoer in the back and then snatched his backpack, police said.

    Felony assaults, specifically, have dipped about 24% so far this year, compared to the same period last year.
