A man was stabbed to death after scuffling with a stranger who had stepped on his shoes during their rush-hour commute in Manhattan Friday morning, cops and sources said.
The 38-year-old victim — a “transit recidivist” with more than 60 prior arrests — was riding a Brooklyn-bound No. 5 train when another commuter stepped on his feet around 8:40 a.m., according to authorities and sources.
The victim then flew into a rage, calling the shoe-stepper a f—t, sources said.
That’s when the other man turned violent and stabbed him, according to the sources.
