    A menace stabbed an Upper East Side straphanger in the neck after randomly picking a fight with him early Tuesday, according to cops and sources.

    A 52-year-old man was standing on the northbound No. 6 train platform at East 96th Street and Lexington Avenue around 3:30 a.m. when another man barged up to him and suddenly started arguing, cops and sources said.

    The creep then struck the victim’s neck with an “unknown object,” leaving him with a nasty cut, cops said.

    He was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

    No arrests have been made in the violence, and it’s unclear what the argument was about.
