A man was stabbed to death on a Bronx street during a quarrel with his killer Monday morning, police said.
The victim and his killer got into an argument near Walton Ave. and E. Fordham Road in Fordham about 10:25 a.m., cops said.
As the clash escalated the victim’s rival pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim before running off.
The killer has not been caught.
The victim was rushed by medics to St. Barnabas Hospital but could not be saved. Cops were working to identify the dead man, who is believed to be in his 20s.
A woman who works nearby told amNY she tried to help the stabbed victim.
“He said: ‘Mami, don’t let me go.’ I said, ‘No, don’t you go on me,’” said Michelle Dawkins, who works at ABC Training Center. “So, I kept taking his eyes and lifting them because he kept wanting to go down. I’m like, ‘No, no, don’t go to sleep, don’t go to sleep.’ So I was applying pressure on the back and then the ambulance came.”
“They (EMS) started working on him and he was still speaking because they asked him: ‘Do you know who stabbed you?’” She added. “He said, ‘Yeah.’ That’s the last words I got.”
The stabber is also believed to be in his 20s, amNY reported.
