A man was fatally stabbed during a fight outside an Upper West Side restaurant earlier this week, and police have now released a pair of videos that show a suspect in the murder.
The homicide took place on Thursday just before 11 p.m. on Thursday, when Special Anthony Stewart, a 24-year-old Upper West Side resident, was arguing with a man in front of La Nueva Victoria Restaurant on Broadway and 95th Street.
A witness, George Wheaton, described the scene in the immediate aftermath of the stabbing: "I heard a lady screaming, 'Stay on the ground! Stay on the ground!' Then I saw he was laid on the sidewalk. He was breathing heavy. His chest was moving. He was on his back."
Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782)
The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
