NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- Police are looking for five men in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man at Pier 84, a tourist hub on Manhattan's West Side.
The NYPD released surveillance images Friday of the five men—the suspected stabber, as well as four men wanted for questioning in the case out of Hell's Kitchen.
The 35-year-old victim was stabbed in the chest shortly before 6 a.m. Thursday.
Police said the five men were together at Pier 84, near W. 44th Street and 12th Avenue, when one of them stabbed the victim.
All five then fled and left the victim mortally wounded at the scene, police said. He was pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Morningside and identified Friday as Hugo Morales, of West New York, New Jersey.
Police haven't said what may have led to the stabbing or if the victim had any sort of connection to his attacker.
The stabbing scene was in an area frequented by tourists, right between Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises and the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The NYPD described the suspected stabber as a man with a light complexion and a Caesar haircut. Video shows him hopping a turnstile around the time of the attack.
The four other men are sought for questioning in the case, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
