Police are on the hunt for the suspect who stabbed a man outside of a Bronx bar during a drunken brawl early on Sunday morning.

According to police sources, the stabbing unfolded at around 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 25 inside Noches de Palenque, located at 561 Southern Blvd. in Longwood.

Based on a preliminary investigation, police reported that two patrons of the bar and restaurant got into a verbal dispute. The argument turned physical, and the fight spilled into the street.
