   Authorities abruptly shut down the Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan on Sunday   
   when a massive, unruly crowd swarmed the Midtown route and a teen slashed a   
   65-year-old man across the face, law-enforcement sources said.   
      
   The 42-year-old parade — which draws a half-million spectators and features   
   113 organizations, including community groups, carnival bands and government   
   officials —  was supposed to continue along Sixth Avenue until West 59th   
   Street, the entrance to    
   Central Park.   
      
   But the crowd grew more and more boisterous — especially when several   
   rappers on floats rolled through — and spectators started jumping the   
   barricades around 46th Street.   
      
   The NYPD scrambled to restore order, standing the barricades back up, holding   
   the floats in place and making one arrest, sources said.   
      
   A 19-year-old man was busted around 3:45 p.m. in front of 266 W. 45th St. for   
   cutting a 65-year-old man on the face and hand during a dispute as cops   
   dispersed the crowd, sources said. The victim was taken to the hospital in   
   stable condition. A knife was    
   recovered at the scene, sources said.   
      
   Cops diverted the parade off Sixth Avenue and onto 52nd Street — including   
   several floats that were barred from finishing the route.   
      
   “We’re shutting it down — at this point, it’s gotten out of hand,” a   
   police source told The Post.   
      
   Some revelers were upset at the late changes.   
      
   “I don’t really understand why they shut it down, we were just having   
   fun,” said Cynthia Lopez, a 17-year-old who has been coming to the parade   
   since she was a little girl.   
      
   “No one was hurt. No one was fighting. We were all having fun, dancing and   
   boom — shut down.”   
      
   “I can’t believe it,” she said.
