CROWN HEIGHTS — A 23-year-old man told police that the same person who stabbed him earlier this week then tried to shoot him on the same block two days later, according to the NYPD.
The victim got into an argument with the suspect on Eastern Parkway between Troy and Schenectady avenues around 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 13 which ended with the man slashing the 23-year-old with a knife, a police report said.
The slashing injury sent the victim to Kings County Hospital for stitches, police said.
Then on Sept. 15, around 4 a.m., the victim was sitting in his car — parked in nearly the same place where he’d argued with his attacker two days previously — when a car pulled up next to him and the driver fired two shots, hitting the car’s door, but leaving the 23-year-old uninjured.
The victim told police he believes the shooter is the man who stabbed him. Police have not yet identified a suspect and there have been no arrests yet in the incident.
