Detective Jose Mercedes was reportedly stabbed seven times during an attempted robbery in the Bronx after two men allegedly tried to steal a gold necklace from his neck.
Despite suffering multiple wounds, including injuries to his neck and leg, Mercedes reportedly pursued his attackers for approximately two blocks before collapsing.
The suspects, identified as Sneider Mejia Bautista and D’Angelo Caraballo, were later apprehended in Massachusetts, where authorities reportedly discovered them hiding inside a basement.
