BRONX - Cops are looking for a couple who stabbed and beat a man inside an MTA bus in the Bronx. 

The NYPD released surveillance video of a grinning female suspect wanted in the brutal bus beat down.

At around 8:40 am on February 15, a 35-year-old male was riding the Bx19 bus in the vicinity of East 149 Street and St Ann’s Avenue. While inside the bus, the man got into a dispute with a man and a woman. Cops said without warning, one of the suspects pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the head. The other suspect hit the victim in the back with an unknown object.
