Cops in Harlem are looking for four suspects after a man was fatally stabbed at a Harlem apartment building early on Saturday morning, police reported.
The bloodshed occurred inside 2640 Frederick Douglass Blvd. at about 5:27 a.m. on May 3.
Officers from the 32nd Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about an assault in progress, found a 33-year-old man stabbed multiple times in the back.
