The NYPD released video footage on Sunday morning of the suspect who stabbed a man to death during an argument at a Lower Manhattan subway station on Saturday afternoon.
Law enforcement sources said the violence happened at about 2:57 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the J/Z train platform of the Chambers Street station. The stop is located only steps away from City Hall, One Police Plaza and other government buildings.
According to law enforcement sources, the male victim, in his 20s, got into an argument with the perpetrator. It’s not clear, at this point, what sparked the argument.
The dispute turned deadly when the suspect stabbed the victim man multiple times in the legs.
Following the brutal attack, cops said, the suspect fled from the Chambers Street station. He was pictured moments later at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station approaching a stopped 6 train.
Officers from the 5th Precinct, the NYPD Transit Bureau and EMS rushed to the scene. Paramedics brought the victim to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police have withheld the victims identity, pending family notification.
Cops described the suspect as a man believed to be 30 years of age with a light complexion, standing 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with long, black hair. He was last seen wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
