Police are investigating a deadly stabbing outside an Inwood restaurant on Thursday morning that claimed a man’s life.
Law enforcement sources said the homicide happened at about 1:05 a.m. on Aug. 4 in front of 255 Dyckman St., which is the location of the Mamajuana Cafe.
Officers from the 34th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about an individual stabbed at the location, found the victim, a 47-year-old man, with a stab wound to his chest.
EMS rushed the victim to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld his identity, pending family notification.
An NYPD source contacted on Thursday said they had “nothing” regarding a possible motive for the stabbing, or a description of the suspect.
Reports on the Citizen app indicated that police were looking for a suspect seen fleeing westbound along Dyckman Street after the attack.
No arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, authorities said.
