An assailant stabbed a 16-year-old New York City girl once in the back in an unprovoked attack in Brooklyn, a disturbing video released on Wednesday shows.
The New York Police Department shared footage of the attack in which the teen is seen walking into the Urban Juice Bar & Grill on Rutland Road in Brownsville around 6 p.m. on May 22 when a man came up behind her, raised a black knife and stabbed her once in the left shoulder without saying a word.
Then the suspect slowly walked off, the clip shows.
The victim was transported to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where she was treated and released.
Investigators are currently searching for the suspect, described as a man with a medium complexion, weighing about 150 pounds with a thin build, black hair and goatee, authorities said.
He is seen in the footage wearing a black T-shirt with a picture of a white lion on the back, gray sweatpants and white sneakers.
