The attacker took off before police got to the scene.  Police say the man they are looking for in connection with the attack is 28-year-old Ezekiel Dunn.  He is 5'9" tall, 160 pounds, dark complexion, with brown eyes, and black hair.  He was wearing a black and green jacket at the time of the attack.  It was covered in blood when he ran off.

BURGER KING MURDER

The stabbing happened around the corner from a Burger King where an employee was shot to death two months ago.

19-year-old cashier Kristal Bayron-Nieves was killed on Jan. 9, 2022.

Authorities say that Winston Glynn entered the Burger King on 116th Street off Lexington Avenue and pistol-whipped the manager and one of two customers in the restaurant. He then demanded money.

Bayron-Nieves gave him $100 but he still shot her in the stomach before stealing the manager's phone and taking off.
