2 Stabbed In Broad Daylight At Deli In Washington Heights, Police Say

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — Police are searching for suspects after two men were stabbed outside of a Washington Heights deli in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon, New York City Police Department officials said.

According to the NYPD, just after 12:40 p.m., two men, ages 24 and 27, were outside The Heights Deli & Mini Mart at the corner of W. 190th St. and Audubon Ave., when a man attacked them with a knife.

The 24-year-old was stabbed in the abdomen and the back, and the 27-year-old was knifed in the abdomen, and then the perpetrator ran away, heading west on W. 190th St., authorities said.

Both men were rushed by medics to Harlem Hospital, where they are expected to survive, cops said.

According to the New York Daily News, the men are brothers, and the stabbing was a retaliation for an argument between the knifeman and a third brother the previous day.

No arrests have been made yet, but the investigation is ongoing, police said.
