Off-Duty Officer Stabbed Outside Club
By Special to the Sun | July 17, 2008
An off-duty police officer is recovering from stab wounds after being attacked with a knife outside a Manhattan nightclub early yesterday morning.
Police say that the officer, whose name was not released, was leaving a club with four individuals on West 28th Street and Tenth Avenue when an argument broke out with another group of three men. As the situation escalated, one of the men stabbed the off-duty officer. According to the city's police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, the officer was treated at a nearby hospital for minor wounds and released shortly afterward.
Mr. Kelly said yesterday at a press conference in Brooklyn that the police may be close to making an arrest, but he declined to release the names of any suspects.
