I was on this line 2-2:30AM, picking up some lunch for the next day after going home from Zikr. SubhanAllah!
An argument between two men standing in line at a street food vendor early yesterday morning turned deadly 30 minutes later when one stabbed the other to death, police said.
Police said the victim, 19, whose name could not be confirmed, and the unidentified suspect, 23, argued after one accused the other of cutting the line as they waited to buy food from a cart at the corner of 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue just before 4 a.m. A short time later, the victim and his friends encountered the suspect a few blocks away at 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue, where they once again exchanged words.
The dispute turned deadly the third time the two crossed paths near the corner of 52nd Street and Seventh Avenue, when the victim was stabbed in the chest at about 4:17 a.m., according to police.
The suspect jumped into a white Lexus and fled.
Police responding to the scene put out a description of the car, and officers on patrol were able to pick up the suspect for questioning at 26th Street and First Avenue. No arrests have been made.
EMS workers took the victim to St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
