Man randomly stabbed in East Village

 

Employees at a coffee kiosk on Astor Place are on high alert, as they are mere steps away from the location where an individual was randomly attacked with a knife. Orlando Robles was on duty during the incident, witnessing blood splatter across the sidewalk in front of him. "Oh it makes me feel so nervous because I've never seen something like that before. It was the first time I've ever seen that in my life. Especially here at a peaceful area," Robles said.

On Thursday evening, first responders cleared away the blood in a section of the East Village, a place where individuals casually enjoy their coffee and glance at their phones. According to the police, a 30-year-old man fell victim to an incident while engaged in this very activity.

"We were hoping it wasn't somebody getting hurt," Dumas said. Dumas departed from the plaza yesterday, just moments prior to police reports indicating that a man was attacked and slashed in the back of the neck with a sharp implement. Upon her return, she found the plaza cordoned off, with a pool of blood staining the ground. This was a difficult revelation for someone who had resided in the city years earlier.

"I got mugged. I wasn't hurt, but I was tossed around, knocked over - then when they saw I had no money, they left me alone. But it was not the kind of weaponry where people are getting shot and stabbed like they are now," said Dumas.

"Unfortunately, nothing is safe anymore in New York," added David Itah.
