4 stabbed and slashed at dance studio in Brooklyn

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Four men were stabbed and slashed at a dance studio in Brooklyn early Sunday, reportedly as a private party was being held there.

NYPD officers responded to a 911 call shortly before 1 a.m. at 1493 Park Place in Crown Heights.

They found the four men, all in their 30s, with various stab or slash wounds.

A 31-year-old was slashed in the torso and right eye; a 33-year-old was slashed in the back of the head; a 34-year-old was stabbed in the right thigh; and a 36-year-old was slashed across the head and arm.

The first three men were hospitalized in stable condition, while the fourth declined further medical attention at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding the stabbing weren't immediately confirmed by police, but the owner of the dance studio, Ms. K's Dance Academy, told WABC-TV that the studio space had been rented out for a private event and that the stabbing wasn’t connected to the dance academy.

Police said they don’t yet have a motive or a suspect and that the injured men aren’t cooperating with investigators.
