The suspect behind the wild East Village stabbing on Sunday evening that left a man dead and two others injured has been criminally charged, police announced
Officers from the 9th Precinct rushed to a chaotic and bloody crime scene at around 5:53 p.m. that stretched from 14th Street and Avenue A to 13th Street and 1st Avenue where locals say homeless individuals and the drug dependent sell goods on the street.
Police said Piedra allegedly got into a dispute with three other individuals before going on the attack — tabbing a 38-year-old man in the neck, a 32-year-old man in the back, and a 52-year-old woman in the leg. Sources familiar with the case told amNewYork Metro that Piedra allegedly knew his victims, and suffers from mental health issues.
“We are also upset that this area remains chaotic and unkempt since the pandemic. I have personally been in touch with the NYPD, Bellevue Hospital, the Department of Sanitation, Manhattan District Attorney, and the Archdiocese to work together to address local conditions,” Rivera said.
