Uptown Worker Stabs 2 Men, Kills 1, After Fight Breaks Out: NYPD

UPPER MANHATTAN, NY — Two people were stabbed, and one person was killed Tuesday by an employee of an Upper Manhattan fish market after a fight broke out in the store, police said.

Two men, 25 and 29, walked into the Express Fish Market around 10 p.m. at 94 Saint Nicholas Pl., which is just off of West 155th Street, police said. The men started a dispute with employees and "began acting disorderly," police said.

The fight began after one of the two men, who were brothers, walked into the deli and allegedly grabbed a container of shrimp without paying, Yahoo News reported. Workers confronted the man, but he returned moments later with his brother, the publication added.

At that point, a melee broke out and a 34-year-old employee pulled out a knife and stabbed both men, police said and Yahoo News reported.

The two men were rushed to a local hospital where the 25-year-old was pronounced dead, and the 29-year-old remains in stable condition, police said.

The 34-year-old employee was taken into custody with charges pending, police said.
