Overview
- The victim was identified as 39-year-old Osei Kusi, found around 2:30 a.m. at Randall Avenue and White Plains Road with multiple stab wounds inside his idling Toyota SUV.
- Kusi underwent emergency surgery at Jacobi Medical Center and his condition was upgraded from critical to stable, officials said.
- No arrests have been announced as the NYPD asks witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers and works to retrieve footage from the vehicle camera.
- The New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers is offering a $5,000 reward and has condemned the stabbing as an attempted murder.
- The federation’s spokesman says early video reviewed by police points to a road-rage encounter rather than a robbery, and identified Kusi as a Lyft and Uber driver.
