A man stabbed repeatedly during an argument in Staten Island died of his wounds on Thursday, law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
The 35-year-old victim was quarreling 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 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
Medics rushed the victim to Richmond University Medical Center in critical condition. He lingered for less than a day before dying at 3:33 a.m. Thursday, sources said.
The stabber was last seen fleeing north on Maple Ave., wearing a white shirt and black pants, according to police.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect Wednesday, as the victim lay dying in the hospital.
Anyone with information that could lead police to the stabber is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stopper’s Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
