BRONX - Cops are looking for a psycho stabber who attacked a man with a knife outside a Bronx church during an arguement. The attack was caught on video.

Police released surveillance video which shows the suspect holding a bloody object in his hand that looks like a knife.

At around 2 pm on January 14, a 23-year-old man had gotten into an argument with a man in a long black coat with a large fur hood covering his face in front of University Spanish Seventh-Day Adventist Church at 165 East Tremont Avenue.

As the argument escalated, the man in the fur coat pulled out a knife and stabbed the other man multiple times about the head. The attacker took off and ran eastbound down East Tremont Avenue.

The victim was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was treated for a puncture wound to his left cheek and a cut to his forehead.

The suspect is described as a man in his 20s who is 5 foot 9. He has a dark complexion and medium build. He was last seen wearing black framed eyeglasses, a large black coat with a fur hood, a green baseball hat, ripped blue jeans and blue and white sneakers.
