Man stabbed, robbed in random attack in the Bronx

Police are searching for two suspects who stabbed and robbed a man in what appears to be a random and brazen broad-daylight attack in the Bronx, and they are hoping surveillance of the harrowing incident will lead to arrests.

It happened around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 18, in front of 304 Echo Place.

Authorities say 55-year-old Rafael Fuentes was walking when two unknown individuals brandishing knives approached him from behind. They pushed him to the ground and began going through his pockets.

During the confrontation, the suspects stabbed and slashed the victim, causing lacerations to his face and right hand.
