A McDonald's employee was fatally stabbed in the parking lot of one of the chain's Bronx, N.Y. locations early Monday, police say.
Police reports indicate that the victim, identified as 28-year-old Adam Garcia, was stabbed in the chest at the restaurant located on 5765 Broadway in Kingsbridge at around 4:30 a.m., reported FOX 5 New York. The stabbing was allegedly prompted by an argument between the attacker and Garcia, after which the suspect was escorted out of the restaurant but returned later and stabbed him.
Police were able to respond quickly after receiving the 911 call since the McDonald's location at Broadway and 236th Street is located directly across the street from NYPD's 50th Precinct.
Upon arrival, they found the victim with multiple stab wounds to the torso in serious condition. He was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital/Allen Pavillion to be treated for his injuries, but was later pronounced dead, according to PIX 11.
What caused the suspect to get kicked out of the restaurant remains unclear and the McDonald's location remains closed as police investigate.
In the meantime, police are searching for the subject, who is believed to be homeless, described as a Hispanic in his mid-30's, reported the New York Daily News. He was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
