Des Plaines Police Share Photos of Cyclist Wanted in Stabbing – NBC Chicago

Police in suburban Des Plaines released surveillance photos earlier this month of a cyclist wanted in the stabbing of a motorist, authorities said.

A series of photos released Friday by Des Plaines police showed the suspect who allegedly stabbed a man to death in the area of ​​Miner Street and Metropolitan Way on Oct. 11.

According to police, a 53-year-old man was found on the roadway with multiple stab wounds to his left arm. Officers stopped the bleeding with life-saving measures, police said, before paramedics transported the man to an area hospital.

The victim said he was traveling westbound on Miner Street when he encountered a bicyclist in the roadway and “words were exchanged” between the two. The cyclist then pulled up alongside the driver’s vehicle and began punching him through the open window.

When the driver tried to defend himself, the cyclist pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the victim multiple times, police said. The suspect was said to be between 30 and 40 years old and was wearing a gray tank top, khaki shorts and carrying a backpack.

Anyone with information was asked to contact Des Plaines police at 847-391–5400.
