BAY RIDGE — A drunk Brooklyn man allegedly stabbed his housemate to death Friday during a weekly game night, according to the NYPD.

An inebriated Gregorio Arambulo, 61, allegedly crashed a Friday game night in the Gelston Avenue home he shared with Pedro Reyes, 56, around 7:20 p.m., wielding a knife and cursing in Filipino, according to police.

Police said he walked up to Arambulo and stabbed him in the torso before being held down by others in attendance. Reyes was rushed to Lutheran Medical Center, where he later died, police said.

The two men lived in separate apartments in the building, and are believed to be distantly related, police said.

Arambulo told officers at the scene that Reyes bullied and disrespected him, according to the NYPD.

He was later charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
