NORWOOD, Bronx (WABC) — The NYPD has identified two suspects accused of stabbing an off-duty detective in the Bronx<\/a> last Friday.<\/p>\n

Police said Tuesday they are looking for 25-year-old D’Angelo Caraballo and 24-year-old Sneider Mejia.<\/p>\n

The pair allegedly stabbed and slashed Det. Jose Mercedes before grabbing his chain and taking off.<\/p>\n

It happened on East 208th Street in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n

Police say Caraballo has five prior arrests in the city.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Homeland Security, both men are from the Dominican Republic and are living in the United States illegally.<\/p>\n

No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

Mercedes was released from the hospital on Monday where he received a clap out, surrounded by family, friends, and colleagues, including NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.<\/p>\n
