BROWNSVILLE, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A 16-year-old girl was stabbed in an unprovoked attack at a deli in Brooklyn last week and police are still searching for the suspect.
Dagean Wilson was walking into the Urban Juice Bar & Grill on Rutland Road in Brownsville on May 22 around 6 p.m. when a man approached her from behind.
That's when the suspect stabbed her in the back of her left shoulder. He fled the scene on foot.
"I don't know why anyone would do that," Wilson said. "I don't know them. I just was going out to the store and it was broad daylight outside."
"To have someone just walk up on the back of your child and stab them for no reason. The crazy thing is that we have no idea who this man is," Wilson's mother Loranda Hicks said.
Police have since identified the suspect as 20-year-old Osie Lewis and are asking for the public's help in locating him.
Lewis was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with a picture of a white lion on the back, grey sweatpants, and white sneakers.
