Man Stabbed in Unprovoked Attack on East Gun Hill Road

NYPD detectives are combing through surveillance video after a couple walking down East Gun Hill Road was attacked by a group of men. The man was stabbed multiple times and remains hospitalized and in serious condition.

Police were called to 291 E. Gun Hill Rd. near Perry Avenue at 9:10 p.m. on June 14. Officers from the 52nd Precinct responded and found the unidentified 24 year-old victim with multiple stab wounds. Police apparently rushed the man to nearby Montefiore Hospital, as EMS responded, but the victim was already removed.

Police say the unidentified victim remains in serious, but stable condition.

According to one bodega owner who declined to be identified, said”My brother was here with his friend and a guy was walking with his girlfriend and four people came and jumped them and they stabbed him.”

The bodega owner said that after the victim was removed, police began a canvas for surveillance video of the incident. He believed a video camera above the “Pizza and Burgers” restaurant, may have caught the assailants fleeing the location.

By the following Monday, police had no arrests and no description of the suspects was available, but one police source noted, “The investigation continues.”
