Police in Brooklyn are investigating a double stabbing inside an apartment building late on Friday night that left one man dead and another seriously wounded.
It was the third reported fatal stabbing in the borough this week. On Wednesday night, a man was fatally stabbed following a dispute in Canarsie; hours later, a second man was stabbed to death in a separate incident in Sunset Park.
Law enforcement sources said the latest bloodshed unfolded at around 11:10 p.m. on May 29 inside 3105 Avenue D in Little Haiti.
Officers from the 67th Precinct rushed to the scene after receiving a 911 call about an assault in progress. When they arrived, they found both victims wounded at the location: a 66-year-old man stabbed in the neck, and an unidentified adult male with stab wounds to his left leg and lower back.
EMS rushed both victims to Kings County Hospital, where the unidentified man was pronounced dead; police said his identity is pending at this time. The 66-year-old man, meanwhile, was listed in stable condition.
So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.
