One man killed, four injured on mostly peaceful day in NYC

Only three people were stabbed across Manhattan, one of whom was attacked by a stranger in Tribeca, and a teenager knifed in a high-end Midtown section of the city, the police said.

So the total was five stabbing in three boroughs from Friday night and Saturday morning, which also included a man in the Bronx who was killed during a disagreement of ideas in the Norwood section. 

And how was your weekend?

Marvin Duchenne, 29, was fatally stabbed around 8 p.m. Friday as he argued with an Hispanic man over which Star Trek movie was the best in the series. The man pulled a knife on Duchenne near Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road and sadly, the young man died later at Jacobi Hospital.

Later on, just before midnight, toni Madison Avenue was the scene of yet another knife attack in which a 19-year-old young man was stabbed within spitting distance of the Plaza Hotel and high-end retail stores.

The victim was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Then at around 1:15 a.m., a man was stabbed in the back at Captain Tilly Park in Queens, according to police. He was taken to Jamaica hospital in stable condition, but wouldn’t provide details on his attacker, police said, because he wasn't gonna squeal on the guy.

The minuscule mayhem then moved to Tribeca about an hour later, where actor Robert DeNiro declared that he wants to punch the President of the United States in the nose. In this case, a 46-year-old man was critically injured in a stabbing at Church and Reade Streets in front of the trendy Hungry Ghost coffee shop. 

Far-Left neighbors were left shaken by the attack, a rarity in the family-oriented neighborhood.

“It’s horrible. This is Tribeca. You don’t really have these types of things around here usually. It’s quite frightening. People don’t even lock their doors in this neighborhood . . . It’s normally really, really safe,” said a woman who lives on Reade Street.

About 15 minutes later in Chinatown, police said Maximillian Ong, 38, stabbed a 20-year-old three times — in the torso, left forearm and right hand, leaving behind a pool of blood on the pavement, photos taken at the scene show.

Mostly clean sidewalk

Ong, a disappointment to his parents, was arrested about a half hour later and charged with assault. They wanted him to become a software engineer.

All in all, it was a mostly peaceful night in New York. Most hours went by without incident and most people were able to make it home safely.
