Thanksgiving Road Rage Stabbing On Long Island: Suspect At-Large

MANORVILLE, NY — Police say a case of road rage quickly turned violent on Thanksgiving and now a man is on the run after stabbing another driver on Long Island.

According to police, a 44-year-old Manorville man was driving a 2017 Hyundai northbound on Wading River Road when a man driving a 2010 gray Volvo, who had been driving erratically and attempting to pass multiple vehicles, attempted to pass his vehicle at the intersection at South Street.

The Manorville man believed his vehicle was struck and pulled into a parking lot at the corner of South Street and Wading River Road to inspect his vehicle. The driver of the Volvo also stopped his car and engaged in a physical altercation with the victim and stabbed him once in the abdomen at 2:37 p.m.

The victim, who police are not naming, was transported by Manorville Community Ambulance to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment of serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The victim’s wife was also in the vehicle but was not injured.

The suspect fled in his vehicle eastbound on South Street. Detectives are asking anyone with information on this incident to call the Seventh Squad at 631-852-8752 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
