Police say they are searching for a suspect who stabbed a 27-year-old man four times in the torso and slashed him in the face with an unknown object at 10:28 a.m. Friday.

Security footage captured the attack and shows the suspect tackling the victim and attacking him on the ground before fleeing.

Bystanders attempted to help the victim before the suspect was seen coming back to attack the victim again, before heading west on Broadway.

The victim, whose name is not being released, was taken to an area hospital in stable condition.

Business owners in the area declined to give News 12 their names, but say they were shocked to see the large police response in the area. They say this kind of incident is unusual for the neighborhood.

The suspect is described as a man in his 20s with blond hair, wearing a black hoodie and sweatpants.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
