Two thieves stabbed a man and stole his cellphone in Flatbush on Wednesday.

The victim, 26, told police he was riding his bike when the crooks plunged a knife into his lower back between Farragut and Glenwood roads at around noon, before nabbing his hone and hightailing it. Paramedics rushed the victim to a nearby hospital in stable condition, cops said.
