The bloody episode happened at around 11 a.m. Saturday near Seventh Avenue and West 40th Street, the NYPD said.

Police identified the “uncooperative” victim as a man in his 20s, who was stabbed “around eight times” about his body, an NYPD spokesperson said. Sources said he was stabbed on the street.

The victim was taken to the Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, cops said.

Police are looking for a suspect described as a man in his 20s who was wearing a black jacket, black pants and white sneakers, and carrying a red bag.  The attacker ran south on Seventh Avenue, authorities said.

Remnants of shocking stabbing were evident Saturday afternoon. Blood was visible near the Times Square 42nd Street station on the corner of 40th Street and Seventh and blood-soaked clothing was spotted on the ground near an NYPD cruiser, which had blood smeared on it.

GSK Looking For Under-Appreciated M&A Targets, Not To Be Next Roche Or AstraZeneca

 

  • GSK plc  chief commercial officer Luke Miels says the company is looking at M&A targets that are under-appreciated worth $1 billion-$2.5 billion and avoid getting into a 'bidding war.'
  • Luke added that GSK is looking to acquire or partner with biotechs' hiding in plain sight' to expand its pipeline.
  • Earlier this year, GSK acquired Sierra Oncology for $55 per share in cash, representing an approximate total equity value of $1.9 billion (£1.5 billion).
  • Miels, according to Financial Times, said he was now spending far more time than usual on business development as he hopes to secure drugs that will be approved in the medium term. 
  • GSK is trying to rebuild its capability in oncology after the previous management team exited the field via a 2015 deal with Novartis AG .
  • But analysts say that GSK's efforts so far have been lackluster and aggravated last month when the company had to withdraw its Blenrep drug from the U.S. market after a negative trial result
  • Miels said there was the potential for GSK to refile for approval for Blenrep based on other studies that had yet to report results.
