Police have released video footage of a knife-wielding man who stabbed two seniors while robbing a bodega in Jamaica Hills on Saturday.

The footage shows the suspect standing inside MSK Deli, located at 84-45 164 St., at around 9 p.m. on Sept.12, before lunging at a customer and stabbing the victim in the chest, head, and abdomen with a knife.

Seconds later, the video shows the assailant chasing a second man – a shop worker– and stabbing him in the chest and back.

The suspect then grabbed around $400 cash from the register and fled the scene in a northbound direction along 164th St., police said.

Both victims were transferred to hospital in stable condition — the first man was taken to Jamaica Hospital while the second man was brought to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, police said.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @ NYPDTips.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside.
