New York City was met with more carnage this week when a violent altercation took place outside a bike shop in Queens, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a sudden development to come just hours after two NYPD officers were shot by a gunman in the New York City borough early Monday morning, another startling incident unfolded just before 1 PM outside the Fly E-Bike shop on 42nd Street near Broadway in Astoria.
According to the NYPD, a 35-year-old man became aggressive towards a 28-year-old worker at the shop.
Graphic surveillance footage captured the disturbing moment and showed the assailant as he used a helmet to strike the worker over the head.
The footage also showed another individual emerge from the store and pursue the attacker off-screen and into the street.
Meanwhile, someone from inside the store intervened and stabbed the helmet-wielding suspect in the stomach amid the chaos. The initial aggressor then went on to smash the helmet into the bike shop's window.

The suspected gunman, who has since been identified as Bernardo Castro Mata, was later revealed to be an immigrant from Venezuela who entered the United States via Eagle Pass, Texas in July 2023.
Both Officers Abreu and Yarusso were released from the hospital on Monday morning after they were treated for their minor gunshot wounds.
Mata, who was struck in the ankle during the firefight, was later taken to New York-Presbyterian Queens to undergo surgery.
“A senseless act of violence,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said after Monday morning’s shooting in Queens. “Total disregard for life.”
