BRONX - Cops are looking for a psycho stabber who attacked a man with a knife outside a Bronx church during an arguement. The attack was caught on video. 


Police released surveillance video which shows the suspect holding a bloody object in his hand that looks like a knife.

As the argument escalated, the man in the fur coat pulled out a knife and stabbed the other man multiple times about the head.  The attacker took off and ran eastbound down East Tremont Avenue. 


The victim was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was treated for a puncture wound to his left cheek and a cut to his forehead.
