Two men were stabbed — one fatally — outside of a Manhattan homeless shelter early Thursday morning, according to police.
The injured men were found around 4:45 a.m. after a 911 call for an assault near 52nd Street and 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, outside the Urban Pathways 9th Avenue Drop-In Center.
An unidentified man stabbed multiple times in the torso was declared dead at Bellevue Hospital.
A 34-year-old man who was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen was also rushed to Bellevue where he is in stable condition, cops said.
No arrests have been made, but police are searching for a person of interest who fled southbound on 9th Avenue on a bicycle. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket and blue pants.
The double stabbing happened outside of 771 9th Avenue, the address of the Urban Pathways 9th Avenue Drop-In Center, which offers 24/7 services for homeless, including overnight stays.
It’s not clear if any of those involved were staying at the shelter.
