A 49-year-old man was left clinging to life with a stab wound following an attack outside a Queens nightclub early Thursday morning, police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The victim had just stepped outside of Club Evolution on Roosevelt Ave. near 77th St. in Jackson Heights when he was stabbed in the left torso around 4:02 a.m., police said.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the victim to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

The attacker fled in a black sedan that was last seen heading westbound on Roosevelt Ave., cops said.<\/p>\n

The attack occurred along a stretch of Roosevelt Ave. notorious as a hot spot for prostitution, drug trafficking and criminal activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are frustrated with the half measures that have occurred here on Roosevelt Avenue. It is a very dangerous place, and people are afraid to walk on this Avenue,\u201d said Rosa Sanchez, a member of the Restore Roosevelt Avenue coalition.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Mayor Adams announced the creation of a multi-agency task force aimed at eliminating vice along the corridor<\/a>, which resulted in raids on brothels and alleged sex-trafficking operations located on Roosevelt Ave.<\/p>\n

The crackdown spurred sex workers and their supporters to rally in opposition to the law enforcement blitz<\/a>, demanding the city instead invest in community-based programs to support sex workers and street vendors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese so-called quality-of-life operations target sex workers, street vendors and migrant communities who live in this neighborhood,\u201d Maxima Rodas, a member of Make the Road New York\u2019s Trans Immigrant project, said at the time. \u201cThis is a racist and anti-immigrant attack on our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 49-year-old man was left clinging to life with a stab wound following an attack outside a Queens…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,9,24,12,63,261,122,124,123,265],"class_list":["post-349900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
