35-year-old man dies after being stabbed at Pier 84 in Manhattan
WEST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police are searching for a group of individuals after a man was stabbed to death right near a pair of New York City landmarks at Pier 84 in Manhattan.
Pier 84 is in between the Intrepid and the Circle Line sightseeing boats on the West Side.
The NYPD responded to the pier along 12th Avenue and West 44th Street just before 6 a.m. Thursday.
A 35-year-old man was stabbed in the chest while sitting on a park bench after getting into an argument with a man sitting next to him.
He was rushed to Mount Sinai Morningside where he was later pronounced dead.
Police released surveillance video of the man wanted for the stabbing.
He's described as a man with a Caesar hairstyle, last seen wearing a white shirt, light shorts, white sneakers, and carrying a black cross-body bag and a black backpack.
Investigators say he was part of a group of four other men who were together at the time of the attack.
They are wanted for questioning.
All five of the individuals fled eastbound out of the pier, and appeared to take the train. They were caught on video jumping the turnstiles together.
It's unclear whether the individuals knew the victim prior to the stabbing.
So far there have been no arrests.
The investigation into the stabbing is ongoing.
