Police are looking for a man who was seen on camera attacking a another man who later collapsed at his job. FOX 26's Leslie DelasBour spoke to Houston Police and concerned residents.

The backstory:

Anival Patricio Elvir Ortiz, 77, was biking on a trail in Second Ward near Canal Street when he was attacked and stabbed just before 6 a.m. Thursday. The incident was caught on surveillance footage.

Houston police say it’s about a 10-to-15-minute ride from where Ortiz was stabbed to The Spencer Company on North Drennan Street, his place of work, where he collapsed. 

"He rode all the way to work. He collapsed at work. They called an ambulance, and he passed away at Memorial Herman Hospital," said Detective Sgt. Mark Holbrook. "He might not have realized his injuries were so severe, and he just kept riding his bike, and eventually he succumbed to his injuries." 

HPD says the suspect left the area and was seen going south on Lockwood that morning.

What they're saying:

The Spencer Company said in a statement, "We understand that one of our valued team members was attacked by an assailant on his way to work this morning, and he subsequently passed away due to his injuries. We are cooperating with the authorities in their investigation, and most importantly, our thoughts and prayers go out to our team members' family and friends during this difficult time."
