A 29-year-old man died on Saturday after being stabbed multiple times by a stranger in Jamaica, Queens. The victim, Sulimon Ferrier, was walking with his father, Peter Ferrier, on Jamaica Avenue near 175th Street around 1 a.m. when they were confronted by an unknown man. According to Peter Ferrier, the stranger expressed a desire to fight, and despite the family's attempts to avoid confrontation, the man pulled a knife and chased them.
Peter Ferrier reported that when they crossed the street, the assailant stabbed his son in the chest. After falling to the ground, Sulimon Ferrier was also stabbed in the back. He managed to run into a nearby bar and restaurant, where he collapsed. His mother, who was present, attempted to stop the bleeding but did not initially realize the extent of his injuries.
Sulimon Ferrier was transported to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His father stated that they did not know the attacker and believed the stab wound to his son's back was fatal. The NYPD is investigating the incident, which they believe stemmed from a dispute. No arrests have been made, and the suspect is described as a slim man wearing a black skull cap, gold chain, blue T-shirt, navy blue sweatpants with white stripes, and white sneakers.
