Police are looking for an SUV that possibly struck a man after he had been stabbed in Northeast Philadelphia.

The man, in his 20s, died at Temple University Hospital a short time after the incident Thursday night in the Frankford section, police said.

Police said the man was stabbed several times in the chest around 8:30 p.m. on the 4700 block of Oxford Avenue and ran away.

About a block away, on the 1500 block of Foulkrod Street, the wounded man either ran into, or was his hit by, a white SUV that drove off, police said.

That's where police found him.

Witnesses in the meantime saw the man who stabbed the victim run in the opposite direction, police said. Officers found a knife at Frankford and Oxford Avenues.

Police want to find the driver of the SUV to determine why he or she left the scene.
