A New York man stabbed his elderly parents to death in Brooklyn this week. On Saturday night, police responded to a 911 call in Borough Park around 5:20 p.m. and found a man and woman, with multiple stab wounds throughout their bodies, the New York Post reported.
The husband and wife, both 75, were taken to Maimonides Hospital where they were pronounced dead. US media reports said the victims’ son reportedly barricaded himself in the apartment after the slaughter. The stabber, a 46-year-old bald man with glasses and a beard, was strapped into a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance as a crowd watched, the US media reports said.
Several neighbours told The Post that the man taken away was the couple’s adult son who’s dealt with “issues in his life.” One of the neighbours said a building resident had called Hatzolah, the Jewish volunteer emergency service, after hearing noises coming from the apartment above them.
“He’s a disturbed guy. He’s awkward. He’s also very quiet and to himself. He’s had issues in his life,” a different neighbor said of the son. He lived with his parents, who neighbors described fondly. “His parents are very nice people. Quiet people, to themselves,” he said. “He’s such a nice man, the father. Such a quiet man.”
Shlomo Antin, one of Borough Park residents, described the couple’s son as a “weirdo” but said his father was a beloved part of the community. “We all knew the son is weird,” Antin said. “He was sometimes depressed, sometimes high … he was kind of weirdo,” he continued.
