NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man was killed and his wife critically injured in a stabbing at their Brooklyn home on Thursday night, police said Friday as they searched for their son-in-law, who is a suspect in the attack.

The husband and wife, both 49 years old, were stabbed at their home at 1277 East 69th St. in Bergen Beach, according to police.

Police responding to a 911 call around 7:30 p.m. found both victims with multiple stab wounds.

EMS rushed them to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where the husband was pronounced dead. He was identified as Juan Manuel Galicia.

His wife remained in critical condition on Friday.

The circumstances surrounding the stabbing remain unclear, but police are searching for their son-in-law, who is described as a man in his 30s who was last seen leaving the scene in a Toyota SUV. He was wearing blue pants and a white hoodie, police said.

Neighbors called the stabbing “shocking” and said it “sounds like a horror movie.”

“It’s a quiet neighborhood,” one man said. “The most we see is a lot of cats.”
