A group of men reportedly shouting “MS-13” stabbed and robbed a man in New York City on Saturday.
Three men stabbed the victim at around 8 p.m. in Queens and stole $600 from him on the sidewalk, authorities told NBC New York. Police told the station the group was screaming “MS-13” during the attack.
“It’s scary because you don’t expect that to happen,” Vanessa Mejia told NBC New York. “You think it’s a safe neighborhood and you hear about this gang. It’s just so scary.”
