Police in the Bronx are searching for a suspect dressed in bumble bee-inspired clothes who allegedly stabbed a man during an argument on Halloween.
According to law enforcement sources, the incident started during a verbal dispute between the knife-wielding perp and a 31-year-old man in front of a commercial building at 1169 River Ave. in Highbridge on Oct. 31 at around 11:24 p.m.
Though it is not clear what the disagreement was about, the situation turned violent when the suspect whipped out a knife and plunged it into the victim’s chest.
The perp immediately fled the scene on foot, southbound on River Avenue before police from the 44th Precinct arrived.
Meanwhile, EMS brought the injured man to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition.
Police on Nov. 14 released a surveillance photo and video of the suspect, who remains at large. He is described as having a medium build and dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a black and white suit, a black and yellow shirt, yellow sweatpants, and black and white Adidas slippers.
No arrests have been made so far, but the investigation remains ongoing, police said.
