BRONX - A “crazy” eyed attacker stabbed a man and a woman outside a Bronx barbershop during an arguement, cops say. 

Police released surveillance video of the three suspects: two women and a man with a menacing stare. The trio is wanted for the vicious attack near St. Mary’s Park in the Melrose section of the Bronx. 

At around 9:30 pm on May 12, a 32-year-old woman and a 48-year-old male were standing on the sidewalk in front of a barbershop at 760 East 149 Street. The couple got into a verbal dispute with two young women and a man at the location. 

As the argument got heated, cops say the fight turned physical. Investigators did not say who hit who but they know who struck next. 

Suddenly the man in the trio pulled out a knife and stabbed the 32-year-old woman twice in the back. He then stabbed the man in the chest and torso. The attackers then ran eastbound on East 149th Street and then southbound on Wales Avenue. 

The victims were rushed to nearby Lincoln Hospital. The woman is in stable condition and the male victim is in critical condition. 

Police released the surveillance video in the hopes that someone will recognize the attackers. 

The first female suspect was last seen in a pink or peach shirt and black jogging pants with a white stripe. The other woman was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and green shorts. 

The suspected stabber dubbed “Crazy Eyes” was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, red shorts and multicolored sneakers.
