A man was repeatedly stabbed inside a Brooklyn deli during a violent, early-morning clash Friday, police said.
Cops were called to the Church Ave. Mini-Mart on Church Ave. near E. 31st St. in East Flatbush at about 5:15 a.m. when they found the 30-year-old victim suffering from multiple stab and slash wounds.
The victim had been stabbed in the face, chest and left arm, cops said.
EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital where the minor wounds were treated, cops said.
The stabber raced out of the store and fled the area in a black sedan, officials said.
Police sources said the victim got into an argument with the stabber just before the attack. Both men were customers, but it was not immediately disclosed if the two men knew each other prior to the bloodshed.
Blood could be found on the ground outside the deli Friday morning.
No arrests have been made.

A manager at the deli downplayed the violence, calling it a minor scrap between two customers.
“It was a little tussle with two customers arguing,” said the manager who wished not to be named. “[The victim] didn’t get stabbed. There was a little cut.”
