Police from the 102nd Precinct in Richmond Hill are looking for a suspect who allegedly stabbed a man in front of a cocktail lounge at 127-07 Atlantic Ave. just before midnight on Sunday.
The 32-year-old victim was engaged in a dispute with an unidentified man in front of Blend Lounge across the street from the Long Island Rail Road at around 11:40 p.m. on Sept. 14 when the perpetrator allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed him multiple times in his body, police said. The suspect fled the scene in a black SUV, traveling westbound on Atlantic Avenue past Phil “Scooter” Rizzuto Park.
The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
It is still unclear what the two men were arguing about before the stabbing occurred, a police spokesman said Tuesday.
The NYPD said the suspect has a dark complexion and was wearing a black T-shirt, black pants and white and black sneakers.
A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment.
