Detectives out of the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are investigating an attempted murder that occurred just before 5:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 7. A 25-year-old man was walking at the corner of Broadway and 76th Street when a stranger approached him and engaged him in a verbal dispute.
The argument escalated into violence when the assailant pulled out a knife and stabbed him multiple times in the torso, police said. The perpetrator fled on foot into the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street transit hub a block-and-a-half away from the crime scene.
The victim was transported to Elmhurst Hospital, just a block in the other direction, where he was listed in critical but stable condition, police said, adding that the assailant remains at large.
The NYPD released a surveillance photo of the suspect on Tuesday afternoon and described him as approximately 20 years old, with a medium to dark complexion, a slim build, around 6’ in height and 150 pounds, a mustache, and dyed brown hair in a ponytail. He was last seen wearing a black jacket over a dark button-down shirt and black pants.
