Man Stabbed With Broken Bottle In Queens Brawl, Police Say

QUEENS, NY — Three brawlers used a broken bottle to stab a 20-year-old man during a fight inside a Queens auto shop, police said.

The man went to Mercy Hospital in stable condition after the April 7 bottle brawl left him with stab wounds in his left abdomen, left arm and right wrist, authorities said.

NYPD officials said three men who stabbed, kicked and punched the 20-year-old remained unidentified more than a week later.

The scrap erupted about 4:45 a.m. when the 20-year-old took offense when someone bumped into him inside an auto shop along Jamaica Avenue, near 211th Street, officials said.

The man began to argue with the person who bumped him, which prompted three other men to step in, police said.

The argument escalated into violence, with the trio beating and stabbing the man with their fists, feet and a broken bottle before driving off in a dark Honda sedan, authorities said.

Police released photographs early Tuesday of three men whom they said were involved in the brawl.
