Police are searching for four suspects who allegedly surrounded a man and stabbed him on a Manhattan A train platform on Tuesday night.
According to authorities, the incident occurred on July 9 at around 11:36 p.m. The group approached the 31-year-old victim on the southbound A train platform at the West 42 Street station before an argument ensued.
The verbal exchange escalated when the perps stabbed the victim in the abdomen and back. The suspects then fled the scene before police from Midtown South and Transit District 1 arrived. EMS responded and brought the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals/Bellevue in stable condition.
It is unclear right now which of the four suspects plunged the knife, but all are wanted for the crime. Police could not confirm what the group was arguing about but said the perps and victim did not know each other.
Police on Thursday released photos and video of the suspects at large. All are males.
The first suspect is approximately 30 years old and has a dark complexion, medium build and short black dreadlocks. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored shorts, a blue baseball hat, and black or white shoes.
The second suspect is approximately 18-22 years old and has a dark complexion, medium build and short black dreadlocks. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, black pants and white or blue shoes.
