A 40-year-old man was stabbed to death in Queens on Wednesday afternoon after threatening a group of people in a parking lot with a metal pole, according to police and wild video of the attack.
The footage obtained by The Post shows the victim approaching a group of about five men while carrying what appears to be piece of wood and a metal pipe near 194th Street and Linden Blvd. around 3:14 p.m.
The victim then winds up and attempts to whack one of the men, though it’s unclear if he made contact.
He was then chased across the street.
A duo of attackers pursued him, at least one of whom brandished a knife and stabbed him repeatedly in the stomach, the video shows.
He then collapsed to the ground.
A resident of the area told The Post that the attack was a big surprise.
“During the daytime, that’s a big shock,” he said.
He further explained that the wild knifing doesn’t change his mind about safety in St. Albans, and that he feels comfortable walking around every day.
Another local told The Post that she was saddened by the violence.
“That is so sad — this is such a peaceful neighborhood.”
“I like this neighborhood, I have three kids. It’s nice,” she explained.
Police arrived at the scene and found the victim unconscious with multiple stab wounds.
He was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital in Valley Stream, but didn’t survive.
A man was arrested in connection with the brutal attack, police said.
Another suspect is still on the run as of Wednesday evening. He was last seen wearing a blue polo, black shorts and white sneakers.
Thirty minutes before the Queens slaying, a man in his 30s and a woman, 35, were stabbed on West 47th Street in Midtown, police told The Post.
The woman had puncture wounds to the back and neck.
The man had stab wounds to his torso.
They were transported to a local hospital in stable condition, according to the NYPD.
Police are searching for a man with multi-colored shorts, a black tank top and a brown baseball cap.
