SOUNDVIEW, Bronx (WABC) — A 39-year-old livery cab driver was found stabbed in his vehicle in the Bronx early Wednesday in a case being investigated as road rage.<\/p>\n
The victim, Osei Kusi, was found with multiple stab wounds to back and lower abdomen just after 2:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
He was taken to Jacobi Hospital in critical but stable condition.<\/p>\n
Kusi was found in a Toyota SUV with a TLC livery license plate at Randall Avenue and White Plains Road.<\/p>\n
Officials say the stabbing is being investigated as a road rage that started at White Plains Road and Story Avenue.<\/p>\n
The unidentified suspect was stopped at a green light when the livery driver aggressively went around him, cutting him off.<\/p>\n
The suspect followed him and police say the suspect knocked on the victim’s window.<\/p>\n
Kusi exited the car and the two got into a verbal dispute.<\/p>\n
The victim said he did not want to fight but police say the suspect then stabbed him and fled.<\/p>\n
“This was an attempted murder and a danger to every New Yorker. Someone out there knows something and must come forward,” said New York State Federation of Taxi Driver spokesman Fernando Mateo.<\/p>\n
NYSFTD is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.<\/p>\n
