Philadelphia Police rushed to a Philadelphia bakery after a customer was stabbed outside as people picked up Easter orders Friday.
A man fled the scene after slashing a 58-year-old man's stomach with a folding knife with a black handle in front of the Colombian Bakery along N 5th Street near Ruscomb Street in the city’s Olney neighborhood around 8:40 a.m. Friday, said Philadelphia Police.
Witnesses told NBC10's Drew Smith that the suspect pulled a knife and stabbed the other man during an argument moments after the victim left the bakery.
Medics rushed the victim, who was sitting up after the stabbing, to Einstein Medical Center in critical condition, said police.
The bakery is well rated on Yelp earning just under five stars. Customers showed up in hopes o getting Easter goodies only to be turned away because of the crime scene.
Investigators described the suspect -- who knows the victim -- as a balding Colombian man in his 40s who stands between 5-foot, 1-inch and 5-foot, 3-inches tall who wore a gray sweater and black hat. He ran off north on 5th Street, said police.
