Cops busted the suspect who they say brutally stabbed a man outside a Bronx firehouse late last month.
Richard Cushnie, 33, was picked up on a Crime Stoppers tip Thursday and charged with assault in connection to the 12:10 a.m. May 23 attack on another 33-year-old man, police said.
The victim was on Sedgwick Avenue near West Burnside Avenue, outside FDNY Engine 43/Ladder 59, in Morris Heights, when Cushnie allegedly knifed him three times.
A surveillance image released by the NYPD shows the attacker approaching the victim with a threatening stance and raising a knife.
The victim was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was listed in critical but stable condition.
The circumstances leading up to the attack are unclear.
