NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A knife-wielding man terrorized a dog walker in Central Park this week, threatening to slash him for no apparent reason, police said as they released images of the suspect.
The victim, a 34-year-old man, was walking his dog along East Drive—at 67th Street, just north of the Central Park Zoo—just after 12 a.m. Monday when the suspect appeared and whipped out a knife, according to police.
The stranger menaced the victim, threatening to slash him with the knife, before he ultimately fled, police said.
No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
