A teenager from New Jersey was arrested and charged with attempted murder yesterday after he allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend at her workplace in the Financial District, cops say.
The 19-year-old showed up to the Koyzina Kafe, a counter-serve sandwich shop on William St., at 7:30 a.m. on Monday and got into an argument with his 26-year-old former flame, then allegedly stabbed her in the stomach and arm with a knife, according to police.
Police arrested the Jersey City teen at the scene and also charged him with assault in the second degree, according to the NYPD.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The ex-couple seemed to have had a previous domestic altercation last Friday, according to police, and the Daily News reported that the woman showed up at her former boyfriend’s home that day to collect her belongings, which he threw out into the street instead.
According to the paper, the ex-boyfriend asked to talk to his victim in private in the back of the café and told her, “I’m going to kill you,” before he drove the knife into her stomach.
He was held on $400,000 bond or $100,000 cash on Tuesday.
