Police in Hawthorne are trying to find this guy. He's Gustavo "Gus" Plascencia, 36, and he is suspected of stabbing a woman on Sunday in the 4800 block of 120th Street. Plascencia recently had a kidney transplant and might need medical attention. He's on the run.

He's 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, with a thin build, black hair and brown eyes. He's got a skull tattooed on his left hand and three women's faces and names tattooed on a bicep.

He's got a scar from his recent operation.

The victim is hospitalized in critical condition, but is expected to survive, police said.

If you know where he is, call Hawthorne police detectives at 310-349-2820 or the front desk at 310-349-2700.
