A 29-year-old man died Saturday after suffering a punctured lung when a knife-wielding stranger repeatedly stabbed him on the Queens block where he grew up, his father said.<\/p>\n
Sulimon Ferrier was walking with his father, Peter Ferrier, on Jamaica Avenue near 175th Street in Jamaica around 1 a.m. when a stranger confronted them, the father said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted to fight somebody \u2026 and we tell him, \u2018Don\u2019t make no trouble on this block, man,\u2019\u201d the father said, explaining that the family had lived in an apartment on the block since 2002. \u201cHe said, \u2018F you, I make trouble anyway.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The father and son tried to cross the street to get away from the man, but the stranger pulled a knife from his waistband and and chased them, Ferrier said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we crossed the road, this guy ran and stabbed him,\u201d Ferrier said, explaining that his son was stabbed in the chest. \u201cWhen they fell to the ground, my son was on top of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the stranger also stabbed his son in the back, the father said.<\/p>\n
The father said he and his son didn\u2019t know the knife-wielding man and had lived on the block for more than two decades. Kyle Mazza<\/p>\n
The victim then ran into Seduction bar and restaurant, where he collapsed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis mother came downstairs,\u201d the father, who is from Guyana, said. \u201cHe told his mother he can\u2019t breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mother tried to stop the bleeding from the chest wound and did not immediately realize that her son had also been stabbed in the back, the father said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he turned over, then we see his back,\u201d the father said. \u201cI can\u2019t believe that. Joe is a very jolly kid. He would come hug up his mom. I don\u2019t know how my wife will take this.\u201d<\/p>\n
His son was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.<\/p>\n
The father said the family did not know the attacker and believes the wound to his son\u2019s back was the fatal blow.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t survive the stabbing because it punctured his lungs,\u201d the father said. \u201cWe all have to face death and I believe in that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to find him,\u201d he said of the attacker.<\/p>\n
There were no immediate arrests, but police were investigating, an NYPD spokeswoman said, adding that police believe a dispute led to the stabbing.<\/p>\n
