Teenagers shoot man near park’s Parade Ground
BY JULIANNE MCSHANE
A Sunset Park man faces up to 25 years
in prison for allegedly stabbing a Cantonese
interpreter in the back with
a kitchen knife while she visited his
home last month.
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez
indicted the 61-year-old defendant on
charges including second-degree attempted
murder on Dec. 5, saying his
unprovoked attack of the interpreter
while she accompanied a city social
worker dispatched to his home could
intimidate other social-service professionals
from doing their jobs.
“Such an attack is especially disturbing
because it can have a chilling
effect on dedicated professionals doing
important work to keep our children
safe,” Gonzalez said.
The interpreter arrived at the man’s
52nd Street home around 8 pm on Nov.
8, along with the social worker sent
by the Administration for Children’s
Services, who came to investigate reports
that the defendant’s grandchildren
showed up to their school looking
“messy and unkempt,” the district attorney
alleged.
But the social worker began verbally
fi ghting with the kids’ mother
— the defendant’s daughter — prompting
him to start arguing with the interpreter,
according to Gonzalez, who
alleged that the man plunged the knife
into the left side of her lower back from
behind as she and the social worker attempted
to leave the apartment.
The caseworker promptly called
911, and police arrested the guy at the
scene, according to prosecutors, who
said cops later recovered the knife
used in the stabbing.
The interpreter — an employee of
Accurate Communication Inc., a company
contracted by the children’s services
agency — ended up in the hospital
for treatment of multiple stab
wounds, which damaged various internal
organs and required surgery,
Gonzalez said.
The defendant is being held on
$250,000 bail, and is set to return to
court on Jan. 16.
