BRONX - A teenager was stabbed in the head by a crazed attacker on an MTA bus during rush hour, cops said. 




At around 4:30 pm on October 25, a 14-year-old boy was riding the Bx8 bus in the vicinity of East Gun Hill Road and Bronxwood Avenue. Cops said a man, wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and a facemask walked up to the teen. 


Without a word, the man in the hoodie pulled out a knife and stabbed the teen in the left side of his head. 





The attacker then jumped off the bus and fled on foot in an unknown direction. 


EMS rushed the victim to Jacobi Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition. 


The NYPD released surveillance video taken from inside the bus at the time of the attack. 





The suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion and thin build. He was last seen wearing a beige or white hoodie and matching sweatpants. He also wore dark sunglasses and face mask. He also appears to have short dreadlocks.
