Bat- and knife-wielding thugs attacked a Brooklyn man this morning
as he aparently waited for a ride to work in a bloody rumble that
injured four people and left a block-long trail of blood, authorities
and witnesses said.
The bloodshed erupted at 6:40 a.m. at Bedford Avenue and Avenue T in
Sheepshead Bay, where a young neighborhood man was being met by two
others. A longtime resident who saw the violence said the local man
was being met to be taken to work.
But suddenly, the neighbor said, about a half-dozen men emerged with
bats and knifes and attacked the three _ whom police sources said
also allegedly were armed with knives.
"I yelled 'police!' and it scared [the attackers] off," said Salvatore
Tinerino, 66, a retired security guard. Hours later, a trial of blood
on Bedford from Avenues S and T could still be seen.
Police said Hayk Muradia , 21, was stabbed twice in the lower back
and was taken to Coney Island Hospital; three others were taken to
Lutheran in stable condition. All were expected to survive.
All the stabbing victims were of Armenian descent, but sources
said they had no information about any organized gang activity in
the neighborhood. Authorities said the men were giving conflicting
information on why the fight erupted; there were no immediate charges
filed in the case.
"It appears to be a fight over money," a spokesman for police said.
