HARLEM — A 48-year-old man was stabbed and killed on West 127th Street Tuesday night, the NYPD said.

Police raced to 25 W. 127th St., between Malcolm X Boulevard and Fifth Avenue, about 10:45 p.m. and found the victim with a stab wound in his torso, cops said.

"He was walking kind of fast. He was yelling, just screaming someone's name," said a 40-year-old witness who declined to give her name.

"When I looked out the window, he fell," she added. "I couldn't tell what was happening. Then he walked over and sat down again on the ground."

Paramedics rushed the man to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival, police said.

The victim's identity has not been released pending notification of his family.

No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
