A 32-year-old man was fatally stabbed on Roosevelt Avenue during the early hours Saturday morning, according to police.
The victim was stabbed multiple times in the head—and his 32-year-old girlfriend was stabbed in the arm—at the corner of 98th Street and Roosevelt Avenue at around 3:15 a.m., cops said.
Both were transported by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst where the man was pronounced dead and the woman listed in stable condition.
Police said that a dispute occurred at a nearby catering hall between the man killed and a 20-year-old male. According to the NY Daily News, an argument broke out after the 20-year-old tried to cut in while the pair were dancing. The incident sparked a brawl outside.
During the fight, the younger man pulled out a knife and stabbed the older man several times in the head. The victim’s girlfriend tried to intervene and was slashed in the arm, cops said.
The 20-year-old has been taken into custody and charges are pending. The name of the man killed has yet to be released, pending family notification.

Was this 20 year old thinking about the consequences of this stupid act. Its 25 years to life. A better choice would have been punching the older man once causing a minor injury. This would have resulted in NO jail time. Another piece of stupid trash off the streets.
The older guy was probably giving him a beating so he needed his knife.
first offense hell just do. probation out in the streets. to kill again
