Unprovoked Stabbings Rock Queens Community
On Wednesday in Queens, a series of unprovoked stabbings shocked residents and left two victims fighting for their lives. The suspect, Firouz Radjabov, allegedly carried out the attacks within minutes of each other, targeting strangers in a seemingly random manner.
First Victim Attacked at Gas Station
The first victim, a 40-year-old man, was stabbed in the back while refueling at a Mobil gas station in Ozone Park. The attack, captured on surveillance footage, showed Radjabov approaching the victim and carrying out the assault without warning. The victim, bleeding profusely, managed to seek help from station workers before being rushed to Jamaica Hospital for treatment.
Subway Station Assault Leaves Another Man in Critical Condition
After the gas station attack, Radjabov fled to a nearby subway station where he allegedly slashed the throat of a 67-year-old man waiting on the platform. The victim is currently in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital, fighting for his life. Police apprehended Radjabov shortly after the second attack, charging him with a range of offenses including attempted murder and possession of a weapon.
Overall, the community in Queens is reeling from these senseless acts of violence and is coming together to support the victims and their families during this difficult time. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant and looking out for one another in our neighborhoods.
