In fact, according to the police, a second 27-year-old man was injured by stab wounds to the chest, in the same neighborhood as the first attack. Taken to hospital, he is in stable condition.
The alleged assailant, a 25-year-old man according to police, was arrested shortly after the second attack, north of Central Park, when he threatened with a knife a third man aged 29.
The Daily News, which published photos of the deceased Italian and his suspected killer on Friday, described the assailant as a gang member from New York’s Queens borough, who had already served four years in prison and has been arrested multiple times for a series of assaults.
Crime and misdemeanor indicators in New York had picked up again in 2020 during the pandemic but have seen a lull this year.
