Police need the public’s help in finding the Brooklyn stabbing suspect who attacked a straphanger on Sunday night.
The NYPD released on Monday night video footage of the perpetrator behind the July 24 assault that left a 25-year-old man seriously injured.
At about 9:45 p.m. on Sunday night, law enforcement sources said, the assailant got into a verbal dispute with the victim on board a Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College-bound 2 train approaching the Sterling Street station in Prospect Lefferts Gardens.
The argument quickly turned bloody, cops said, when the perpetrator pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the man multiple times in the head and torso.
According to authorities, the suspect departed the 2 train at the Sterling Street stop, then fled out of the station into parts unknown.
The incident was reported to the 71st Precinct and NYPD Transit District 32. EMS brought the victim to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
Police described the attacker as a 35-year-old man with a dark complexion, a medium build and a black hair and beard, standing about 6 feet tall and weighing about 225 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, camouflage pants and white sneakers.
