Cops need your help in finding a man wanted for allegedly stabbing a man in the face with a screwdriver at a Jamaica Hills home earlier this month.
Police identified the suspect as Anthony Claudel, 25, whose last known address is in Brooklyn. The 107th Precinct published on its Twitter account on May 26.
Law enforcement sources said Claudel attacked the 35-year-old male victim at a home on 162nd Street near Normal Road at 11:50 a.m. on May 15.
Sources familiar with the investigation stated that the victim, who owns the property, arrived to change the lock on the home of a tenant, who was identified as Claudel’s friend.
