A man slashed a Bronx smoke shop employee in the face during a clash this week, new video released by police shows.
The assailant entered the BX-Otics store on Jerome Avenue near West Burnside Avenue just before 11:30 a.m. Sunday – and got into an argument with a worker who accused him of previously stealing from the shop, cops said.
Footage released late Tuesday shows the suspect lunging at the employee, slashing him in the face before leaving the store.
The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital in stable condition, cops said.
Police are still looking to track down the suspect.
It’s unclear whether store employees contacted police about the previous theft the suspect was reportedly involved in, because no details were available on that incident.
