SEE IT: Man Slashed, Robbed On Astoria Street In NYPD Video

ASTORIA, QUEENS — A 60-year-old man was attacked and slashed with a knife outside of an Astoria deli last month, police said.

Early in the morning on Wednesday May 19, around 4:00 a.m., the 60-year-old entered the Astoria deli located at 38-02 31st Street, which prompted a verbal fight with another man, who was standing outside, about whether or not the shop was open.

Police said that the argument escalated, and the assailant pulled out a knife and began to slash the victim in the face and arm, as the older man tried to defend himself with a stick. During the fight the attacker also stole the victim's slippers off of his feet.

Police said that the 60-year-old man was hurt during the attack, and taken by EMS to Mount Sinai Hospital in Queens with non-life threatening cuts on his right wrist and face.

The attacker — who cops described as about 5-feet, 8-inches tall with a slim build and facial hair — fled the area after the fight, and still hasn't been identified or caught nearly a month later, according to the NYPD.

The cops later got a video of the fight from a surveillance camera that was located nearby.

The NYPD asked that anyone with information about this incidents call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) or submit a tip online or on Twitter.
