Police in Delaware County mobilized to search for a man who attacked a woman pushing a stroller Wednesday, authorities said.

Collingdale Police Department officers were called to Chester Pike and Pine Street for reports of a stabbing after several witnesses called 911 just before 2 p.m., police said.

A woman was pushing a child in a stroller when a man attacked her, witnesses told Collingdale police. She was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition with minor injuries and the baby was unharmed.

The suspect was then seen fleeing the scene on foot toward Upper Darby, officials said. Witnesses attempted to pursue the suspect along the CSX railroad tracks before losing him.

With the assistance of the Sharon Hill, Darby Borough, Darby Township and Folcroft police departments, the Collingdale Police Department was able to establish a perimeter in an attempt to find the suspect, officials said.

Police are asking the public for help in finding the man wanted for the stabbing. He is described as wearing a blue shirt with gray pants and light two-tone New Balance sneakers. He was also wearing a backpack at the time of the incident.

Authorities say the suspect also has a deformity in his right ear.
