Manhattan<\/a> detectives are on the hunt for the knife-wielding suspect who slashed two men on the Lower East Side early on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Police sources said the attack took place at approximately 4:10 a.m. on Jan. 11 at the intersection of Essex and Delancey Streets.\n<\/p>\n

According to law enforcement sources, a male suspect with a knife attacked two men. The motive for the assault is unknown and under investigation.\n<\/p>\n

Officers from the 7th Precinct<\/a> responded to the scene after receiving several 911 calls about the assault. When they arrived, they found a 32-year-old man with a slash wound to the face and a 29-year-old man with a slash wound to the right hand. <\/p>\n

EMS rushed both victims to Bellevue Hospital, where they were treated for their wounds and listed in stable condition.\n<\/p>\n

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation. Police said the suspected assailant was last seen wearing a brown jacket, beige sneakers, and blue jeans while fleeing the scene on foot along Essex Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
