The police have released video documenting an early Sunday brawl at a Bronx deli, which left three men injured, and hope the public can help them identify the seven suspects involved in a violent attack.
According to police, the assault occurred at 4:25 a.m. yesterday, at the 1253 Deli at 1253 Castle Hill Avenue. Three men, two 20-year-olds and 26-year-old, were inside the deli and got into a verbal dispute with the suspects. That escalated quickly, with the victims being punched and stabbed:
A 20-year-old victim was stabbed in the right torso and suffered eye and head injuries. He also had $56 in cash and an HTC cellphone taken from him. He was treated at a local hospital and released. The 26-year-old had multiple facial structures and the other 20-year-old victim was also stabbed in his torso and had bruising to his head and stomach. His iPhone 5 was stolen. Both were treated at a hospital and remain there in stable condition.
Two suspects are described as females, while the other five suspects are males. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
