Teenagers' Lives Tragically Cut Short in NYC Stabbing Incidents
A 19-year-old Long Island man, Gianluca Bordone, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and assault for allegedly fatally stabbing a 17-year-old New Jersey high school student, Rocco Rodden, during a fight outside a Lower Manhattan axe-throwing bar. The altercation occurred after a private party, where the group continued to drink and socialize on the street. Rodden's 19-year-old brother was also slashed during the incident. Bordone was apprehended by police after attempting to flee the scene and was found wearing a blood-coated vest. The defense claims the incident was more complicated than presented, citing chaos and mayhem surrounding the fight. Bordone's bail was set at $4 million.
