[Update below] Moments ago a man was stabbed multiple times outside of Joe's Superette on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens. Police are on the scene and the victim has been taken to Lutheran Hospital in serious condition. After the stabbing, the perp reportedly jumped into the passenger side of a black Lexus and sped off.
Initial reports say the victim is in his early 40s. The stabbing also took place as school was about to let out across the street.
Reported victim Mark Iacono.
Update:
An anonymous tipster sends us the following update:
I work as a medic in the downtown brooklyn area. So this guy pulls up in front of Long Island College hospital in a black lexus suv, staggers out, and walks up the ambulance bay. Evidently, he was the guy that stabbed the other guy in the article. He himself interesting enough, stabbed. Actually smeared blood all over the er doors trying to get in. So trust me, no man hunt. The other guy as per what we heard on the radio has multiple stab wounds to the chest and back, and was raced to the trauma center @ lutheran and is in critical condition. And to avoid all the racist trolling, seemed like a dispute between two italian guys "from the neighborhood" as they say. So that's the story.
Update Two: The victim of the stabbing appears to be Mark Iacono, the owner of Lucali's. He is reportedly in critical condition with "stab wounds to his throat, back and legs," according to authorities.
As for Iacono's assailant, the Post confirms our earlier report that an unidentified man showed up at Long Island College Hospital with slash wounds to his hand. He was arrested on site.
