Police say a man was fatally stabbed outside a deli on Nostrand Avenue in Bed-stuy just before 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

They say when they arrived a man had a stab wound to his left torso, and he was taken to Kings County Hospital where he later died.

Businesses were cleaning up the aftermath of the scene Sunday morning.

"It's terrible… it keeps happening over here. I wish it stops man, I hope it stops," said Paul, a resident of the area.

Police say the suspect fled the scene on foot and they are searching for them.

They have not identified the victim but have not released his name.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police.
