A man was stabbed in a random attack while walking on a Manhattan street, police reported. Authorities are actively searching for the suspect involved in the incident, which took place late Sunday, October 22, in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) detailed that the attack occurred around 10:30 p.m. near 33 Gold Street in the Financial District.
The 25-year-old victim was walking down the street when a stranger suddenly approached him and stabbed him in the abdomen. After the assault, the suspect quickly fled the scene, leaving the victim injured on the sidewalk.
Emergency responders arrived promptly after receiving reports of the stabbing, and the victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital.
He is currently listed in stable condition and is expected to recover from his injuries. The police have yet to identify a motive behind the attack, describing it as unprovoked and random.
The suspect, who remains at large, was last seen wearing dark clothing and a face mask, according to police sources.
Law enforcement officials have been canvassing the area, reviewing security footage, and gathering witness statements in hopes of locating the attacker.
“Detectives are working diligently to identify and apprehend the suspect,” an NYPD spokesperson said, urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
The stabbing has raised safety concerns among residents and visitors in the busy Manhattan neighborhood, where random attacks have been a growing worry.
While violent crime has seen fluctuations in New York City over recent years, officials continue to emphasize the importance of vigilance and prompt reporting of any suspicious behavior.
Police are encouraging anyone with knowledge of the incident or the suspect’s whereabouts to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline.
