One dead, three injured, after quadruple stabbing in Sunset Park

February 28, 2021

A quadruple stabbing in Sunset Park left one man dead and another three injured Friday night.

At around 9:21 pm on Feb. 26, police responded to a 911 call of an assault near 57th Street and Seventh Avenue outside of what authorities say appeared to be an illegal gambling operation.

When officers arrived, they found three men on the ground, each with stab wounds, after they reportedly tried to rob the establishment.

Emergency Medical Services transported all three victims to NYU Langone-Brooklyn, where the oldest victim — a 46-year-old man — was pronounced dead. The other men, ages 39 and 42, sustained non-life threatening injuries and were listed in stable condition early Saturday, according to authorities, who say they are looking for multiple suspects in connection to the bloodshed.

A fourth victim was treated at the scene for a minor puncture wound, police added.

There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.

As of Feb. 21, when the most recent data is available, there had been 17 robberies and 24 felony assaults in Sunset Park’s 72nd Police Precinct throughout 2021 — compared to 30 robberies and 28 felony assaults throughout the same timeframe in 2020. 

Borough-wide, both crime categories are also down on the year, with 693 felony assaults and 383 robberies between Jan. 1 and Feb. 21 — compared with 788 and 672, respectively, during the same timeframe in 2020.
