NYC: Man Stabbed to Death by Group of Teens
A man was stabbed to death outside of Brooklyn’s Barclay’s Center after he was attacked by a group of teens, police and sources said.
Michael Hernandez was walking near Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues when he was apparently set upon by four people, stabbed once in the chest and multiple times in the back around 9 p.m. Friday, police and sources said.
Hernandez, 27, able to walk away but then collapsed nearby at Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, the sources said.
He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he later died.
A 55-year-old who lives in an apartment that overlooks the scene said he heard screaming about 9 p.m. but thought it was teenagers he had heard carrying on a few hours earlier.
“Like around 9 at night, I heard some noise, screaming,” engineer Bjorn Breivik said.
“I thought it was the youths having fun.”
About 15 or 20 minutes later, he heard the cops, the Norway native said.
“There were a lot of cops, six or seven cars, about 25 cops.” he said.
“I saw a puddle that I think was blood. … It was (in) the middle of the street.”
“It’s really terrible,” he said.
“He is a human and someone does that with purpose.”
Frode Thorsen, 60, who is also an engineer from Norway, was walking his dog, Taks, in the area and was visibly shaken when he learned about the murder.
“Oh Jesus!” said Thorsen.
“It’s not good that someone was killed.”
Thorsen sometimes walks his dog as late as 11 p.m., but he’s not worried, he said.
“I have a dog to watch over me,” he said.
“He’ll let me know if someone is approaching me.”
Retired professor Linda Farhood-Karasavva, 76, who travels to Brooklyn from Manhattan often was on her way to see a show and called the killing “disgusting.”
“It’s happening too much,” she said. “I’m a mother……I can’t imagine losing your child that way, to get murdered?
To her, it seems like “the whole city is falling apart,” she said.
“I love this city,” she said. “I was born here and I hate to see it go down like this. I’ve lived all over the world, I’ve traveled everywhere but I am always happy to come home — but not to this.”
