Brooklyn detectives are looking for the suspect who stabbed a man to death at a local bar early on Sunday morning.
Police said the deadly attack occurred at about 2:52 a.m. on April 7 at Catch 22, located at 7221 3rd Ave. in Bay Ridge.
Officers from the 68th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the incident at the location, found the victim, a 37-year-old man, with a stab wound to his torso.
EMS rushed the man to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld his identity, pending family notification.
The 68th Precinct is one of the safest in the city; the most recent CompStat report indicated that year-to-date, the command had zero homicides through March 31. Overall crime was down 5.81% through the first quarter of 2024.
Police sources did not disclose a possible motive for the deadly attack, or release details about the suspect’s description.
Thus far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.
