Wichita police release video leading up to stabbing, image of suspect’s T-shirt

Wichita police have released new video of the man suspected of stabbing a woman Monday in northeast Wichita.

They also released an image of the T-shirt he wore.

The video appears to show the man walking down the street before moving out of the frame of the camera. He then reappears, running in a crouched position from the back of what appears to be an SUV parked in a driveway with a door open.

“Please take a look at this new video reference Monday’s stabbing in 7400 block of East 17th Street,” Officer Paul Cruz said in a tweet. “If you know who this suspect is please call Det. Moses at 268-4407, call the See Something, Say Something at 519-2282 or Crime Stoppers at 267-2111.”

The T-shirt says: “FACTORY 233 PRINTING CO.” In an earlier video, it appeared the suspect took off the shirt while running away after the stabbing.

Police said the woman was stabbed multiple times near her vehicle before noon in the 7400 block of East 17th Street.

The 28-year-old woman remained hospitalized in stable condition, police said Thursday morning.

“Through this investigation at this point, with the evidence we have received, we believe this to be an unknown suspect and a random act,” Cruz previously said.

Law enforcement have described the attacker as a white man in his 40s who is 5-foot-9 and 140 pounds. He has short, brown or blond hair and a beard that was described as “scruffy.” He was last seen wearing a white shirt and dark camouflage pants. Anyone with information on this suspected stabber is asked to call 911 immediately.

Police said the woman was stabbed with a knife but haven’t said if a knife has been recovered.
