BRONX (WABC) -- Police are searching for two suspects in connection with the stabbing of a man early Saturday morning at a Bronx subway station.
The victim of the stabbing is in critical but stable condition at St. Barnabas hospital.
The incident happened in the Fordham section of the Bronx.
Police have released security camera of the two suspets they're looking for.
It shows a man and woman in an apartment building in the Bronx, shortly after the assault on the platform of the number 4 train.
Police say a 19 year old man was stabbed at least six times after confronting a man who stole his smartphone.
According to investigators, the victim and a friend were riding the train just before 4 a.m., when they fell asleep.
The victim woke up and noticed that his pocket had been slashed and his phone, gone.
He then spotted a man with his phone on the train car.
They all got off, and the victim confronted the suspect, who in turn, pulled out a knife.
The victim's friend ran for help.
When he came back to the platform, his buddy had been stabbed in his head, neck, chest and torso.
In surveillance video from another nearby store, detectives are seen arriving to the scene just minutes after the stabbing.
The victim left a trail of blood down three levels of the station, from the platform to the landing near the token booth, and all the way down the stairs to the exit on Fordham.
Number 4 trains were bypassing the Fordham Road Station while police investigated.
The suspect was with a woman on the train.
He was wearing a baseball hat with the letters "LA" on it.
Police have been looking through surveillance video from the subway and nearby stores to track him down.
