A Brooklyn man says he was stabbed multiple
times while packing his car for a family trip.
Albert
Yusupov was packing his car for a family trip down to Myrtle Beach
when he says 32-year-old Gerald George walked behind him and
stabbed him multiple times with a knife.
The
incident took place just before midnight on June 4, and police told News 12
that George also stabbed his own mother twice just prior to this incident.
Yusupov is yet
another victim of the rising crime in New York City. He says he leaves his
doors open at home and often feels safe in his neighborhood.
His
wife, Yana Yusupov, witnessed the incident moments before she walked out with
her 8-month-old son Jacob.
“He
doesn’t deserve this,” said Yana, who said thankfully that a neighbor came to
the rescue. “He has a scratch on his forehead and a lot of stabs, I counted 9
but I know there’s more.”
Thankfully
Albert is in stable condition at the hospital. Police say George has been
arrested and is facing charges, and the suspect’s mother is expected to be okay
as well.
