A young man was left for dead on a Manhattan sidewalk late Friday, bleeding out from multiple stab wounds across his body, police said.
Officers responded to the Flatiron District around 10:40 p.m. where they found 18-year-old Denzel Bimpey on Park Avenue S lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. Police say the Bronx man had stab wounds to his chest, shoulder and arm.
EMS personnel transported the injured man to Bellevue Hospital, but life-saving measures were not successful. He was pronounced dead.
Police initially said a person had been placed into custody late Friday and that a second male suspect seen wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt was wanted. That initial apprehension made in connection to a separate crime, police later clarified.
By the next morning, when police released the identity of the victim, they said no arrests had been made. Investigators believe two perps fled in a car after the stabbing, which may have started after the suspects and victim stepped off a bus during an argument.
The investigation is ongoing.
