A 42-year-old volunteer for the campaign of Eric Adams, who is running for mayor of New York City, was stabbed Sunday while out canvassing in the Bronx, the campaign said.

"A member of Team Adams - who has been working hard & volunteering every day - was stabbed in the Bronx today," Adams, a former police officer, tweeted. "We pray for him. This violence must stop."

The volunteer was holding campaign literature when he was approached by two people he engaged in a brief argument with before one of them stabbed him repeatedly, the New York Daily News reported. The two then ran off.

The incident was captured on surveillance footage, according to NBC4. The victim was taken to Lincoln Hospital and is in stable condition.

Fellow mayoral candidates responded to Adams’ tweet to offer their support.

"Horrible news. My thoughts are with your volunteer, their family, and your entire team, Eric," Andrew Yang, who is in the race, tweeted.
