Video Shows Gruesome Stabbing of Elderly Man In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (CBS)—Police in Baltimore are searching for a suspect who stabbed a man to death on Friday evening.

Video released by police shows a 73-year-old man walking on the sidewalk as the suspect follows him. Shortly after an altercation, the suspect is seen violently throwing the man to the ground and repeatedly stabbing him.

The victim was transported to an area hospital where he later died from his injuries.

"It takes a real coward to one rob and then stab, a 73-year-old to the point where he dies," said Baltimore City Police  Det. Donny Moses tells CBS Baltimore. "Some of the cars even slowed down while this was going on, and we need those people to come forward."
