A man was found fatally stabbed on the sidewalk just blocks from Times Square on Monday morning, police said.
Esan Benn, 51, of Queens was discovered unresponsive on the ground by cops near West 38th Street and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan around 5:20 a.m., according to police.
EMS rushed the man to Lenox Hill Hospital, but he could not be saved.
