“The entire department stands behind Detective Mercedes as he continues his recovery. And the greatest detectives in the world will relentlessly pursue those responsible for this crime,” she added.<\/p>\n

The detective attempted to fight back, but he was stabbed and slashed seven times during the struggle before the assailants fled. Authorities said the confrontation began when the men attempted to steal his gold chain.<\/p>\n

Mercedes then pursued the fleeing attackers on foot for about two blocks before collapsing near East 206th Street and Rochambeau Avenue.<\/p>\n

“Despite his serious injuries, Detective Mercedes chased after his attackers on foot,” Tisch said.<\/p>\n
