A 66-year-old man was stabbed in Hell’s Kitchen and died hours after staggering into a police station looking for help.

The incident was caught by a security camera, and shows the suspect plunging a knife into Timothy Caughman’s chest and back several times near the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 36th Street around 11:30 p.m. Monday, police sources said.
The two men appeared to not know each other, police sources said.

The critically injured Caughman walked a block to the Midtown South Precinct on West 35th Street, where cops called an ambulance which rushed him to a nearby hospital.

He died hours later, police said.

The suspect is still being sought by cops. The motive for the slaying is currently unknown.

Caughman has 11 prior arrests for crimes ranging from obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, menacing, turnstile jumping and marijuana possession.
