The NYPD released on Thursday night images and video of six males who remain at large in connection with the stabbing of a 24-year-old man at a Woodhaven street corner earlier this month.

The attack took place at 6:40 p.m. on March 2 in the area of Jamaica Avenue and 85th Street.

Police said the suspects — each described as Hispanic males between 15 and 20 years of age with thin builds standing between 5 foot 7 inches and six feet tall — approached the victim and punched and kicked him about the body.

During the assault, authorities said, the victim was repeatedly stabbed in the neck, stomach and buttocks. The group fled the scene shortly thereafter.
