NEW YORK, NY – The NYPD is on the hunt for the suspects responsible for a brutal attack that occurred at a New York City bowling alley. An altercation erupted at The Gutter, a popular venue on the Lower East Side, which resulted in a 21-year-old man being savagely beaten and stabbed over an unspecified dispute.
According to the NYPD, the attack took place around 1:40 a.m. Monday. The victim was repeatedly kicked and punched in his face and body. After attempting to fight back, he was slashed across the neck and stabbed in the torso with an unidentified sharp object.
Following the confrontation, three suspects fled the scene, running down Essex Street. The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he is currently battling life-threatening injuries.
At this point, the NYPD has not released any photos or descriptions of the suspects. The department, however, has acquired surveillance footage of the incident, which it is presently withholding from the public.
The Gutter, renowned for its 12 bowling lanes, selection of 24 craft beers, and wood-fired pizza, remains unreachable for a statement. Authorities remain in the dark concerning the sparking of the dispute. The NYPD is urging anyone who is aware of the incident to contact Crime Stoppers.
