A man is being treated after police say he was stabbed on Lyell Avenue Monday morning.
Officers say it happened around 7:15 a.m. in the area near Rutter Street. When officers got to the scene, they found a 44-year-old man at a gas station with a stab wound on his upper body. He was rushed to a nearby hospital in an ambulance where he’s being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police learned a man in a nearby business intervened during the stabbing, and say the man pointed his legally-registered gun at the suspect.
Police arrested the suspect, a 48-year-old Rochester woman. She faces an assault charge. Officers say the suspect and the victim knew each other.

A first for New York
For the first time I can recall an elected official from New York has actually called for people to exercise their 2A rights for self-defense. Not a wishy-washy statement either.
The Post reports:
“A City Council member from Queens is urging her constituents to arm themselves following a terrifying home invasion in which robbers posing as Amazon drivers tied up a family and snatched thousands of dollars in cash, according to cops. Republican Vickie Paladino offered to help residents in her district — which covers Whitestone, where the ordeal took place — obtain gun permits in light of the break-in Monday morning. “I want to remind my constituents that New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protect themselves,” Paladino said in a statement. “I urge my constituents to avail themselves of their rights under the Second Amendment; my office is always available to assist constituents with obtaining firearm permits for premises or concealed carry,” she said Tuesday. …”
Outstanding.
Greece store owner shoots armed robbery suspect
Armed Citizen in Brooklyn
The Daily News reports:
“A licensed gun owner who fatally shot a young man in a Brooklyn park in the dead of night claims he was acting in self defense after the 23-year-old victim tried to rob him at knife point, police sources said Tuesday. The shooter told detectives he was walking through Carroll Park on President St. near Smith St. in Carroll Gardens around 2:45 a.m. Saturday when Jordan Dillard put him in a chokehold, and with a knife to his neck, demanded he hand over cash, law enforcement sources told the Daily News. The two men fought until the would-be robbery victim, who has a concealed carry permit, whipped out a registered gun and shot the assailant in the torso. A knife was recovered at the scene; there’s no indication Dillard and the gunman knew each other, according to the sources. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office is still investigating, but it is not believed the gunman will be charged in Dillard’s death, The News has learned …”

NYC bodega owners now armed with guns
NYPD busts another armed citizen
Gothamist reports:
“A Bronx smoke shop worker who fatally shot a man allegedly robbing his store Wednesday has been arrested and charged with weapons possession, according to police. The NYPD said 26-year-old Fares Alhazmi fired at 23-year-old Romel Carey, who was attempting to rob the smoke shop on East Tremont Avenue around 12:30 a.m. The shop’s owner, Fatehi Kassim, said Alhazmi, his cousin, had reason to feel threatened. He said Carey got angry because Alhazmi was busy trying to help another customer. “The guy come to him … he told him ‘I’m coming back, I’ll kill you.’ And he coming back after 35 minutes, he got the gun,” Kassim said. “For no reason.” Kassim said he wasn’t sure if Carey was trying to steal anything from the store, but he was adamant that his cousin had acted in self-defense. “You have a gun in the store, you take care of yourself. If he didn’t have the gun, he [would have] died, my cousin,” he said. Police said Carey was shot in the head and died at the scene. Alhazmi was arrested immediately after the incident as a person of interest, but was formally charged Thursday morning with criminal possession of a firearm …”
This may have been an “illegal” dispensary, not that it should matter. The state legislature created that mess in the first place. They also created the gun control mess.
It will be interesting to see if the guy makes a 2A defense.
