A NYC Transit worker who was walking home in Harlem was attacked by a group of four men. One stabbed him, but 5 train conductor Maurice Parks managed to pull out his own knife, stabbing one 28-year-old in the chest and a 22-year-old in the stomach. The four men, who approached the transit worker near 139th and St. Nicholas Avenue, were trying to rob him. The 22-year-old and a 15-year-old attempted to get away, but the police arrived before they could. The fourth attacker is still at large. And the 28-year-old died at the scene.
While Parks has not been charged with a crime, it seems that fatally stabbed man was not an attacker but possibly a bystander who was trying to help.
Yikes! What a tangled tale. Sadly it explains why sometime bystanders don’t get involved when seeing a crime unfold.
One way to keep our streets safer is to start a neighborhood crime watch. For more info visit http://www.ncpc.org/topics/neighborhood-watch
