Police say a 37-year-old man was stabbed in the back of the head on Wednesday, steps from the Yankee Stadium on Jerome Avenue.

Investigators say officers were called to 1005 Jerome Ave. for a report of a stabbing at around 11:44 p.m.

There they found the victim with a stab wound on the back of the head.

Officers quickly jumped into action, rushing the man to a local hospital in a police vehicle.

The victim is expected to make a full recovery.

Police sources tell News 12 they believe a man was behind the attack. The alleged suspect was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and shorts, before he took off running northbound on Jerome Avenue.

It's still unclear what led to the attack. If you have any information that can help police find the stabber, contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline.
