Bronx detectives are looking for the killer who stabbed a man to death early on Saturday morning.

The victim, a 32-year-old man, was attacked at a home on the 400 block of East 153rd Street in Mott Haven, near the Major Deegan Expressway, at about 3:51 a.m. on Feb. 3.

Officers from the 40th Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about an assault, found the victim with a stab wound to his neck.

EMS rushed him to Lincoln Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Police have withheld his identity, pending family notification.

So far, police have not yet provided a possible motive for the deadly stabbing, or a description of a suspect. 

No arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation, police said.

It was the first reported murder in the 40th Precinct this year, according to the most recent CompStat report.
