Victim Stabbed And Robbed On Ocean Parkway

Last night a frightening incident took place on Ocean Parkway near Cortelyou Road.

A suspect approached a man sitting on a bench and asked him for money. When the person declined, the perp started aggressively yelling at him, which made the man start to walk away.

As they approached Avenue C and East 5th, the suspect pulled out a gun and threatened to kill the man. He then quickly took out a knife and stabbed the victim in the side of his head and robbed him.

The perp fled and was gone before the police arrived on the scene. The victim was transported to Maimonides Hospital in stable condition.

The suspect is described as an Indian male with a ponytail and was wearing all black. He is still at large.
