An NYPD detective remained hospitalized and on the mend Saturday as police continue their manhunt<\/a> for a Bronx duo who stabbed him seven times during a savage robbery.<\/p>\n

Cops are hoping the public can help identify the suspects, who fled on a motorized bike after ripping the gold chain off of the 33-year-old detective\u2019s neck early Friday afternoon, cops said.<\/p>\n

The detective was retrieving something from the trunk of his black Mustang parked in front of a single-family home on E. 208th St. near Steuben Ave. in Norwood around 2 p.m. when the pair crept up behind him, law enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n

The victim was slashed and stabbed up to seven times, sustaining wounds to his neck and torso, as he fought off the would-be robbers, sources said.<\/p>\n

The off-duty cop gave the muggers a chase, pursuing them for about two blocks to Rochambeau Ave. near E. 206th St., where he collapsed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got stabbed, and he was chasing the guy,\u201d said a witness, who asked that his name be withheld. \u201cHe chased the guy, and that\u2019s where he collapsed, in front of the building where I was sitting. We know him from the neighborhood, so we know he\u2019s a cop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video obtained by the Daily News shows police assisting EMS in lifting the wounded detective off the street, where blood can be seen pooling along the curb, and onto a gurney.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the victim to Jacobi Hospital, where he\u2019s expected to survive. Both Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and Mayor Mamdani visited him bedside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI visited the detective and his family at Jacobi Hospital with Police Commissioner Tisch,\u201d Mamdani said in a post on X<\/a>. \u201cHe is thankfully in stable condition, and I am hoping for his quick and complete recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that the NYPD will identify and apprehend the suspects and that the people responsible will be held to account.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, it was believed the suspects left empty-handed but cops say they made off with the detective\u2019s chain.<\/p>\n

Police are looking for a man who was last seen shirtless, wearing black sweatpants, while the other suspect sported a hoodie, black sweatpants and black sneakers.<\/p>\n
