The suspect fled the scene after the killing but was followed by a security guard who alerted police
A Harlem man was fatally stabbed at Dave & Buster’s in Times Square on Saturday night following an argument over an arcade prize.
As reported by The New York Times, the incident occurred at the family-friendly restaurant and arcade located on W. 42nd Street near 8th Ave. Police said Allen Stanford, 39, was fetching a prize (a drone to be exact) on a high shelf and the item allegedly fell and hit a female child that was with 41-year-old Jesse Armstrong. This triggered an argument between the two men that turned physical and ended when Armstrong pulled out a knife and stabbed Stanford in the chest.
EMS transported Stanford to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to police.
