The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for a man who appears in video to have stabbed another man on Aug. 14 in downtown Los Angeles.
In security video released by the LAPD Tuesday, the man can be seen approaching another man inside a business in the 600 block of South Broadway at about 11:20 a.m.
The assailant reaches into his pocket, pulls out what appears to be a knife and stabs the other man in the torso before quickly walking away from the scene.
The victim was taken to a local hospital by the Los Angeles Fire Department. He was treated for his injuries and released, police said.
Police are seeking the attacker as part of an assault with a deadly weapon investigation.
