The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the person seen in the attached photos who they say is wanted in connection with an assault that took place aboard an MTA bus in Fordham Manor on Sept. 2.
Police said that on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at around 9.35 a.m. a 23-year-old male victim was onboard a BX9 MTA bus traveling eastbound on East Kingsbridge Road. They said after the bus reached its stop opposite 321 East Fordham Road, it opened its doors and the victim began to exit.
“As he was stepping off of the bus, an unidentified individual approached from behind and stabbed the victim multiple times to the back and left arm with an unknown sharp object,” a police spokesperson said. “The unidentified individual then fled on foot to parts unknown.” Police said EMS responded and transported the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
They said the suspect is described as male and was last seen wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a black backpack.
As reported, on the same day, a 70-year-old man was also assaulted aboard a BX-29 bus also in Fordham Manor.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.
