Bronx detectives are looking for the suspect who stabbed a woman to death on Friday night.

Police sources said the 39-year-old woman was murdered at the corner of White Plains Road and East 220th Street in Olinville at about 9:35 p.m. on July 7.

Officers from the 47th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about an assault in progress, found the victim with multiple stab wounds to her torso.

As of Saturday morning, police sources did not have any information about a motive, or the circumstances that led up to the attack. Police believe, however, the victim was unaccompanied at the time.

EMS rushed her to Jacobi Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld her identity, pending family notification.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, authorities said. The NYPD did not provide a possible description of the suspect.
