NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD is searching for four men who are wanted for stabbing and beating up a man trying to stop a fight outside a Queens nightclub earlier this month.
It happened at 3:45 a.m. on Sunday, April 17, in front of El Pasillo, a bar/nightclub located at 37-69 103rd St. in North Corona when police said the group of men became involved in a dispute with management/security after they were denied entry.
According to officials, the victim was a 46-year-old male bystander who attempted to intervene in the dispute when two of the suspects began to kick him. A third suspect hit him with a belt and a fourth suspect stabbed the victim three times.
The suspects fled on foot.
The victim, who suffered three stab wounds and pain and bruising to the face and body, was transported in critical condition to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst. His condition has since stabilized, cops said.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
