The NYPD needs help identifying a suspect accused of assaulting a 22-year-old man in Bedford Park. The suspect and the victim got into an argument at East 203rd Street and Valentine Avenue around 10:15 p.m. on June 12.

The argument soon broke up, but the suspect found the victim again and stabbed him in the torso. The victim was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital and was listed in stable condition.

The offender is described as a slim-built Hispanic man between the ages of 20 and 30. He was last seen wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
