Twin 19-year-old sisters were each stabbed in a Brooklyn deli early Sunday, leaving one dead and the other receiving treatment in hospital, police and witnesses said.
Police said in a short statement that Samiya Spain died from a stab wound to her chest. Her sister, who has not yet been identified, suffered a wound to her arm but was in a stable condition, police said.
NYPD said the attack took place at about 2:20 a.m. inside a deli in the Park Slope neighborhood, on the corner of Saint Mark's Place and 4th Avenue, a short walk from Spain's home on Nevins Street.
"Upon arrival, officers observed a 19-year-old female with a stab wound to the chest and a second 19-year-old female with a stab wound to the arm," police said.
Emergency medical services took both women to the New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital where one was pronounced deceased.
