They said a 42-year-old male was stabbed in the abdomen and leg, apparently following a verbal dispute. They said EMS transported the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, there were no initial arrests, and the investigation was ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two people were seen on video being placed in police vehicles at the scene. Norwood News asked for further clarification from police regarding this and were initially informed that even if someone is placed in a police vehicle, it may not necessarily mean they are being arrested. We followed up a bit later with the NYPD and received confirmation that two people have since been arrested.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image000001-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image000001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1064\"  \/><\/a>POLICE ACCOMPANY A man to a police vehicle after a stabbing takes place in the vicinity of 3053 Villa Avenue in the Bedford Park section of The Bronx on Tuesday morning, July 7, 2026.\u00a0<br \/>Photo by Miriam Qui\u00f1ones<\/p>\n<p>They are presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One witness, whose identity we are not disclosing, told Norwood News they saw the incident in its entirety and that two males got into a fight with a third man who had a bike.
