BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A 44-year-old Brooklyn man was stabbed to death Saturday night, police said.

Michael Tillary, of Coney Island, was found dead on a sidewalk alongside the Tompkins Houses, at Tompkins Avenue near Myrtle Avenue, after police received a call at 9:52 p.m. that a man had been stabbed.

Tillary had suffered two stab wounds in his stomach, and was sent to Kings County Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival, the FDNY said.

Marvin Mann, 39, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, was arrested and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon after police recovered a knife, cops said.

An investigation into Tillary's death was ongoing, according to police.
