A man wanted in connection with multiple stabbings in Brooklyn is in custody after admitting himself to a city hospital Monday night, according to the NYPD. He was later charged with assault, police said Tuesday afternoon.
Joevani Vale, 26, was identified as a person of interest earlier this week in the slashing of a 31-year-old woman in the right thigh on Nevins Street in Boerum Hill Saturday. Another stabbing victim, 83-year-old Ramon Cintron, was found dead the same day only two blocks away, but it’s still unclear if the two are related.
Vale's attorney information was not immediately available.
The woman was entering the restaurant Rice & Miso, according to police, when she felt pain and noticed she had been cut. She was taken to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in stable condition.
In a tweet Monday evening, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced Vale was in custody and thanked the public for their help.
