New York Stabbing: 2 People Critically Injured After Man Goes On Rampage Inside Apartment

Two men were in critical condition after they were stabbed by a deranged man in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night.

According to local reports, the accused, identified as 40-year-old Aubrey Dukes, was hanging out with three men inside an apartment. The men left and when two of them returned a while later, the accused went on a rampage. He punched and kicked them before stabbing one of them multiple times in the arms and torso. He also allegedly stabbed the man in the neck. The rampage, that took place in an apartment near Dorchester Road and E. 21st St. in Flatbush, was caught on camera.

The accused then fled the scene. He ran into the third man he was hanging out with a block away and stabbed him several times. Emergency personnel arrived at the scene and rushed the two victims to a nearby hospital where they were listed in critical but stable condition. The identities of the victims were not revealed.

Meanwhile, the accused, who fled the scene after attacking the third man, returned home and choked his father. His mother then called 911.

The accused was charged with several offenses including attempted murder, assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and harassment.

Meanwhile, recalling the incident, a neighbor said, “It was very bloody and very violent. Some other people came out, and there was more shouting.”

Another neighbor said that a lot of people used to visit the man who was punched but not stabbed by the accused.

“He’s the one that brings in everybody. It’s very scary. I knew something like this would happen one of these days . . . It was a bloodbath this morning,” the unidentified neighbor said.

Investigation was ongoing to find out the motive behind the crime. Meanwhile, anyone with any information regarding the incident was asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

The incident comes a day after two people, including a teen, were charged in connection with the stabbing murder of another teen in Harlem, New York. On April 7, the victim, identified as 17-year-old Glen Cole, was beaten and abandoned on the street with multiple stab wounds. Cole was rushed to a local hospital where he succumbed to injuries. The accused were charged Friday with murder.
