Actress Spencer Grammer, daughter of TV star Kelsey Grammer, says an agitated man cut her on the arm and stabbed her friend in the back outside of a New York City restaurant Friday night.
Grammer, 36, told Fox News via her rep that she and her friend “did what anyone else would do in the same situation” and were “attempting to prevent the altercation from escalating,” trying to calm the man down when he attacked them.
The two were eating at an outside table in the East Village around 11:30 p.m. when the man arrived, demanding to be served by the restaurant, which was in the process of closing.

The actress and her friend “attempted to break up a dispute between the unidentified male and other patrons at the location,” police said.
The man injured Grammer's right arm and her friend's lower back with an unidentified sharp object before he ran off, investigators added.
“I sustained a laceration on my arm, and my friend was stabbed in the back, but thankfully he suffered no serious internal injuries," the actress concurred. "We expect to recover quickly."
