[ He doesn't bother wasting time being grateful that it worked, as they are both too busy rolling on the floor and trying to get the upper hand. The narrow space and broken furniture don't help matters, as they limit Peter's movements in lieu of being somewhat bigger than the other man. Part of him is also reluctant to cause Newt any real, lasting harm. Newt, or the asshole aliens puppeteering him, don't have that same issue.
Peter has been stabbed before, with all sorts of pointy objects, including forks and claws, and it's not a feeling he enjoys. And yet, the first stab, to his upper thigh, barely registers because of the rush of adrenaline. The fight distracts him until Newt pulls the knife from his thigh and buries it on his side, narrowly missing a vital organ but causing Peter to scream and double over in pain this time. Out of instinct, lizard brain mentality takes over for a moment, Â he reaches out and blindly punches his attacker in the first place he can reach to get Newt away from him. ]
