Authorities say they are looking for a man who slashed a 13-year-old boy across his face in Queens last month following an argument.
According to police sources, the slashing occurred in front of the Queens Place Mall located at 88-01 Queens Blvd. in Elmhurst at around 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 3. Sources say that a 13-year-old boy and his friend had gotten into an argument with a man who then chased the pair.
When he caught up to them, he brandished a sharp object and slashed the young teen across the face before making a run for it, leaving him with a laceration.
Cops from the 110th Precinct and paramedics responded to the incident. The boy was whisked to Harlem Hospital by EMS, where he was treated for his injury and listed in stable condition.
The suspect is described as last seen wearing a black T-shirt with red lettering and camo pants with a baseball hat. Detectives have released images of the perpetrator in hopes he will be recognized.
No arrests have been made.
