Jan. 26, 2016 crime round-up

1. Beer run turns violent

A man was stabbed during an altercation with a stranger—although he was so drunk he cannot remember what prompted the violent argument, according to police. 

Police said the victim, 35, had been drinking with a friend on Sunday night, when he went out to buy more beer. 

Police say the victim was very drunk and, on his way home, began arguing with another man, who was reportedly also drunk, in front of 3987 Saxon Ave. 

The reasons for the argument remain unknown, but the two men started fighting. The suspect, 37, left the victim with multiple stab wounds and lacerations on his arms and hands, police said. 

The victim told police he was unaware he had been stabbed, though he remembered seeing the suspect drawing the blade. 

Detectives arrested the suspect several hours later, and he is expected to be charged with felony assault.

2. Delivery bike stolen

A local food delivery person who parked his electric scooter on Kingsbridge Terrace came back to see a thief takeoff with the scooter, police said. 

The victim, 27, parked in front of 2675 Kingsbridge Terrace on Jan. 17 to bring a food order to a customer. When he came back, he watched an unidentified thief wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt jump on his bike and ride off. 

This case is open to detectives.
