A 30-year-old man was knifed to death during a fight with a trio of longtime rivals in Upper Manhattan early Friday, police said.
The unidentified victim was on Convent Ave. near W. 146th St. in Hamilton Heights at about 1:30 a.m. when he got into an argument with the three suspects who began yelling at him from across the street, a witness told police.
One of the suspects stormed up to the victim and punched him in the face, cops said. During the scrape, a second suspect ran over and stabbed the victim multiple times in the body, cops said.
EMS rushed the victim to Harlem Hospital, but he could not be saved. His name was not immediately disclosed as cops track down family members.
The witness to the killing said the victim had an ongoing beef with the men who attacked him, a police source with knowledge of the case said. The victim was sought out and targeted by the attackers, the witness said.
One of the three suspects was wearing a white hoodie and tan pants, police said. The second assailant was dressed in a black sweatshirt and the third suspect was in all grey.
All three ran off. No arrests have been made.
Cops were scouring the area looking for surveillance footage that can help them identify the suspects and track their movements.
