One Costco employee stabbed another before the store opened for customers Black Friday morning, police said.

The victim was cut across the abdomen and multiple times across the face with a box cutter in the attack, which occurred a little before 6 a.m. in the bathroom of the Nanuet store, according to Clarkstown Detective Lt. Glenn Dietrich.

The victim was taken to Nyack Hospital and is undergoing surgery. He is expected to survive, police said.

Police have identified the suspect and are searching for him. He is described as between 19 and 20 years of age.

Investigators believe the two workers had an argument last week that led to Friday's attack.

No customers were in the store when the stabbing occurred, police said.
