NEW YORK (AP/CBS 2) — Police in New York City say a man found stabbed, bound and barely alive in the trunk of a BMW after a fender-bender had placed an online ad to sell the car.

The NYPD says they are looking for the man they suspect was driving and fled the scene, 30-year-old Barion Blake of Manhattan. Police spokesman Paul Browne said that the motive appears to be the robbery. Blake reportedly has a history of stealing BMWs.

Police say the bloodied 33-year-old victim – identified as Akeem Ajimotokan – was found in the car’s trunk in Washington Heights on Wednesday. Police found Ajimotokan in the trunk of the car after it had collided with a taxi and the driver fled.

Ajimotokan is hospitalized in a coma with stab wounds to the head, face and body.

    The suspect is an aspiring rap artist who recently turned his life around after 15 years in prison. He needed a BMW for his rap music video.

    The Good Samaritan has spoken.

    I doubt when someone is personally selling a car they have access to check weather this person is a felon or not. Thats the chance you take when personally selling or showing something to strangers.

    We have identified some third graders in the New York City area which we believe could add value to our investigative reporting and story writing. Should be a great improvement.

    Yeah, but, running with AP feeds is soooo much easier than actual journalism.
    Let’s do the math: Journalism = work, and work is icky.

  • Mr. Armenia

    Why would the victim sell his car to a convicted felon?

      Just one look at this guy should have made Akeem Ajimotokan realize that he was up to no good.

        Actually he doesnt look at all like the photo! The hieght and wieght is way off also! He actually is a non violent person.

    This story tells us so very little.

    Go check out the story that the NY P0ST wrote online. They did some actual reporting. Plus a photo of the scary suspect.

    Oh CBS, what has happened to you? How about investigating a story and then writing your own piece instead of pulling some poorly written story off the AP.
