Brooklyn detectives are on the hunt for the suspect who stabbed a man at a public housing complex early on Sunday morning.
Cops said the attack happened near 135 Richards St. in Red Hook at about 5:01 a.m. on Oct. 20.
Officers from the 76th Precinct found the victim, a 34-year-old man, stabbed in the abdomen. EMS rushed him to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he was listed in stable condition.
The motive for the assault remains unknown and under investigation. Police believed the victim was attacked by a suspect described only as a male with a dark complexion who fled in an unknown direction following the assault.
The 76th Precinct had seen 97 felony assaults year-to-date through Oct. 13, according to the most recent CompStat report. That’s a 12.8% increase from the 86 felony assaults reported at the same point last year.
So far, no arrests have been made in Sunday’s stabbing, police said.
