A New Rochelle man will be arraigned Monday for allegedly stabbing his neighbor, police told News12.
New Rochelle police arrested Sylvester Hendricks, 37, on Saturday after they were called to his apartment building around 9:30 a.m. They found the victim, whose name and age were not released, with knife wounds to the back of his neck and face.
Officials are trying to determine whether the incident occurred during a dispute in a hallway inside the building, on Fourth Street near St. John's Place, or whether it happened outside.
