Queens car crash on Christmas morning erupts into bloody knife fight


Tensions over a Christmas morning fender bender in Queens erupted into a bloody knife fight, according to an eyewitness.

“It escalated big,” said the witness, who lives near the scene of the gruesome stabbing that left a 28-yer-old man in critical condition.

The local man, who asked that his name be withheld, said he heard a crash near the intersection of 9th Ave. and 125th St. in College Point around 5:30 a.m. Monday and looked outside to find two groups of men arguing around a red car and a white SUV.

At one point the 28-year-old passenger of the SUV drew a knife and began egging his rivals from the red car into a fight, the witness recounted.

“He had a knife out and he was swinging the knife at the five guys,” the witness said. “The guy … was yelling, ‘let’s fight one-on-one.’”

The witness said a scuffle ensued that left the knife-wielding man bloody on the street, he said.

“I don’t know if somebody else had a knife, or if they hit him and took the knife and stabbed him with his own knife,” the man said.

Medics rushed the victim to Presbyterian Hospital Queens with multiple knife wounds, where he remains in critical but stable condition, cops said.

The witness saw a group of men hightailing it in the wake of the stabbing, but not before one of them slashed the tires on the victim’s SUV.

“One kid slashed the guy’s tires of the SUV ’cause I heard ‘sssssssss,’ so I know they popped his tires,” he said.

No arrests have been made and the police investigation is ongoing.
