Sunday, July 6

8:42 p.m. — A man was accused of menacing two people with a knife at Lexington Avenue and Sarles Street. One of the victims told officers that a man approached him, brandished a knife and said “You are going to die today.” The suspect then walked away and went into a local deli. After an investigation, a 26-year-old man was arrested in the deli and charged with second-degree menacing, a misdemeanor. A knife was found on a shelf in the store, and an employee verified the knife was not property of the business. However, the victims were unable to say for sure that it was the same knife that the suspect had brandished. The accused was booked at the Green Street precinct and held for arraignment.
