The NYPD released new surveillance camera footage of a suspect wanted in the brutal Christmas time stabbing outside a supermarket in Wakefield. Cops did not reveal a motive for the violent attack. 

At around 2:30 pm on December 17, a 52-year-old man was standing in front of Met Foods at 4401 White Plains Road. Cops said a man walked up behind the victim and just began stabbing him. The attacker stabbed the man in his head, in the back and to the victim’s left arm.
