MAN HIT WITH PAN, STABBED WITH NAIL AT SRO ON 94TH STREET

319 94th

A dispute between two next-door neighbors at an SRO at 319 West 94th street early Saturday sent one resident to the hospital with stabbing wounds and another to jail.

The story behind the dispute is somewhat strange and began when management of the SRO placed a sticker on the 47-year-old victim’s door claiming he owed back rent. The victim accused his next-door neighbor, 46-year-old Benjamin Riley, of “messing with the sticker,” said Captain Timothy Malin of the 24th precinct. From there, it escalated. “They get into an argument, it gets so heated that Riley hits him with a frying pan and stabs him with a nail,” said Malin. The head wound was a “big scary wound,” said Malin. The wounds to his torso were apparently not as severe.

Police were called at 1:35 a.m. and found the victim in the hallway.

Police charged Riley with first degree assault, although the DA will make the final decision on charges.

The victim was in stable condition at St. Luke’s, Malin said.

Most of your stories the past few days are about stabbings, assaults, robberies, fights in our oh so precious UWS.
And a large reason that this is happening on daily bases is that the far left libs, led by Comrade Mayor di Blasio, are hand cuffing the police dept.
Soon these events will fill up your blog with nothing else to report.
Power to the people?
Not these thugs and crazies.
You’ll see it coming, you’ll be sorry, but it’ll be too late I’m afraid.

@ zeus… this is nothing new for the Upper West Side. It’s been going on for decades and decades. Long before Di Blasio entered the picture!!!!

Hey Bruce my comments were deleted twice in the other thread whole replying to you about the debate. Since I’m sure they’ll be deleted again I won’t repeat them. I think we may have violated the terms of service by trying to setup a debate 🙂

Yes, it’s been going on forever, but, diBalsio came to power and right away struck down the STOP & SEARCH.
I was stopped twice by police and was questioned why I was walking in a certain place at a certain time.
I had nothing to hide and was glad it happened.
Now the cops can’t even do this.
I hope I am 100% wrong, but I am afraid that I will be right regarding crime going up and up in the few years ahead.

You’re right, zeus, if only the police were still randomly stopping people, searching them to discover and confiscate their frying pans and nails, this would never have happened.

Today it was a frying pan and nails.
Tomorrow it’s switch blades and revolvers.
Tell me that you feel 100% safe walking past 11:00pm on west 95th street between B’Way & RSD. If you do you must have kryptonite in your blood.

I’ve done that exact walk (Bway to RSD along 95th) hundreds of times late at night in the last few years. I have never had any sort of problem. And i see women out there all the time, making that walk!

by the way, if you’re concerned about the shelter, i think they have a curfew. there are also security guards out there.

More spilled blood in the w90s… This neighborhood is so safe, I don’t know why people are making such a a big deal out of people getting stabbed? Meh, superficial wounds, rub some dirt in it, nothing to worry about.

Obviously you know nothing of the gang shooting in the neighborhood. The war between different housing developments in the area. Or even the three shootings in the past month or so on 99th street.

You have been doing too much crime reporting lately. I loved it before, when you just told us what’s new in the neighborhood. Hope you’ll go back to your former wonderful self.

When I moved to the 90’s three years ago I was excited for my first home (that I owned), and to settle down with my family. Now, we’ll be moving to the burbs, safety being the biggest concern. Whether it’s vehicles or people hurting, or even worse, murdering upper west side residents, the area is unsafe, property values are no doubt dropping, and the area is clearly declining dramatically.

This building, Rustin House, is owned and managed by the Lantern Group as ‘supportive housing.” The approval from CB7 was contingent on Lantern committing to having a 40/60 mix: 40% working community residents and 60% DHS-referred NY2/3. They currently have only 23% community residents and 77% DHS (aprox) which in violation of their promise to the community. They should immediately restore the balance to 40/60. The local officials are aware of this problem. Also how is it that residents living in very small rooms subsidized by tax-payer money have roommates? And how many such roommates currently reside at Rustin House??
