Officers from the 32nd Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the incident, found the victim with two stab wounds to his torso and a laceration to his face.

EMS rushed him to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have not yet released his identity, pending family notification.

The motive for the stabbing remains unknown and under investigation, police sources said. So far, no arrests have been made in the case; police have not yet provided a description of the suspect.
