A man who was stabbed repeatedly during an argument in Staten Island died from his injuries Thursday, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
The 35-year-old victim was arguing with another man on Maple Ave. near Grove Ave. in Port Richmond when his rival stabbed him in the wrist, thigh and abdomen around 12:45 a.m. Wednesday, police said.
Medics transported the victim to Richmond University Medical Center in critical condition. He lingered there for less than a day before dying at 3:33 a.m. Thursday, sources said.
According to police, the perpetrator was last seen fleeing north on Maple Ave. wearing a white shirt and black pants.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect on Wednesday as the victim lay dying in the hospital.
Anyone with information that could lead police to the stabbing is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stopper’s Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
