Investigators say the victim was riding the BX16 bus when he became involved in a verbal dispute with an unidentified individual. The argument quickly escalated, turning physical as the bus approached the intersection of West 166 Street and Ogden Avenue in the Bronx.

Police report that both men exited the bus, where the confrontation intensified.

At that point, the suspect allegedly brandished a knife and stabbed the victim in the left hand, causing a serious physical injury, according to NYPD officials.

After the stabbing, the suspect fled the scene on foot, heading in an unknown direction. No arrests have been made at this time.

The NYPD has released surveillance images and media related to the case and is urging anyone who recognizes the individual to come forward.

Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, where he was treated for his injuries. Police say the victim is expected to recover.

Authorities emphasize that community tips are critical in identifying suspects involved in violent crimes, especially those involving weapons on public transportation.
