NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 37-year-old man was slashed in the torso during a dispute in front of a Bronx deli last month, authorities said.

The victim and the suspect had a verbal dispute in front of Joy’s Deli Grocery at 1400 Grand Concourse around 7:15 p.m. on Nov. 24, police said.

Emergency responders transported the victim to Saint Barnabas Hospital where he was treated and released.

Cops said the person they are looking for has a medium complexion and is about 5’11” tall. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, grey sweatpants and a red California Angels baseball cap.
