Man dead, another critical after double stabbing at Brooklyn park as police detain person of interest: NYPD

A 21-year-old man is dead, and a 30-year-old man is in critical condition, following a double stabbing at Dyker Beach Park in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday.

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) told Fox News Digital officers responded to a 911 call just before 2 p.m. local time reporting that two men had been stabbed near the intersection of 86th Street and 14th Avenue, within the confines of the 68th precinct.

When police arrived, they found both victims with stab wounds to the bodies, officials said.

EMS took both men to Maimonides Medical Center in critical condition, where the 21-year-old was later pronounced dead, according to the NYPD.

Authorities are withholding the deceased victim’s identity pending family notification.

A person of interest has been taken into police custody, though their identity has not yet been released.

No motives were released, and the NYPD said the investigation remains ongoing.
