WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon man has been indicted on attempted murder, assault, and other related charges for allegedly stabbing an on-duty Mount Vernon public works employee.
Shakiem Stanley, 34, was arraigned on Friday on charges of attempted murder, two counts of assault, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, all as felonies, and remanded to the Westchester County Jail without bail.
It is alleged that on October 20 at about 8:35 a.m., Stanley came out of his residence on North Seventh Avenue in Mount Vernon, armed with a knife in each hand, and began a verba argument with the victim, claiming the noise from the victim’s truck woke him up.
Stanley then allegedly followed the victim and his sanitation truck on foot down the street while he still brandished the knives.
After catching up, Stanley confronted the victim in the street and repeatedly swung the knives at him, stabbing three times, twice in the left arm and once in the lower abdomen.
The victim was transported to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Stanley was arrested at the scene and both knives were recovered.
