An unidentified adult man was stabbed to death on an Elmhurst street corner last night.

Police responding to a 911 call found the man lying on the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and 80th Street at around 9:41 p.m. The man had stab wounds to his upper torso, police said.

Police apprehended a suspect, 32, who was apparently also injured in the incident. A knife was also found on the scene.

Both the victim and the suspect were rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where the victim was pronounced dead. The suspect is now in stable condition, police said.

Police said that they have a “tentative” ID of who the victim is–but have yet to confirm it.

Police said that the suspect’s name has not yet been released as charges are still pending.

Again, we need a Business Improvement District to clean up Roosevelt Avenue from these undesirable people. Seedy streets, bars, underground brothels bring nothing good but crime.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
