Posted

Nassau County police are looking for a man who they say injured another man with a knife during an incident in the Walmart parking lot at the Green Acres Mall on May 29.

The victim left the store at 8:15 a.m. and was putting packages into the trunk of his vehicle when a man approached him with a knife and “demanded ‘papers,’” police said. The victim said, “I have no papers,” and suddenly fell to the ground. The subject placed the knife on the victim’s stomach, causing a small laceration, then fled in an unknown direction. Nothing was taken from the victim, who refused medical attention at the scene.

The subject was described as black with dreadlocks and wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. Anyone with information can call (800) 244-TIPS.
