a man creeping up to a couple on a Queens street and trying to hit them — before the pair turned the attack around, leaving him with multiple stab wounds Wednesday, police said.

The 37-year-old man could be seen trailing the duo as they strolled with a dog near 49th and Broadway in Woodside around 2:45 p.m., according to the NYPD.

Surveillance footage shows him tossing his coat on the ground before pouncing on the other man, who, due to a foot injury, was riding a scooter alongside the woman holding the pup.

The element of surprise did not work in his favor, however, and he soon found himself in a headlock, the video shows.

The man wearing a medical boot on his right foot tossed his attacker on the ground and began pounding him with blows, a mission the woman quickly joined in on, according to the video.

The man being beaten desperately tried to escape, but the couple continued pummeling him, dragging the dog along as they pushed and kicked him.

The trio finally separated, but continued shouting at one another, seemingly ready to jump back into fisticuffs, the footage shows.

The man backed up several paces toward the security camera, showing a shocking, bloody wound near the crown of his head.

That’s when several bystanders — who appeared unbothered during the tussle — stepped in between the couple and the man.

He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with multiple stab wounds, the NYPD said.

He was in stable condition.
