A young Bentley driver was stabbed multiple times by a group of assailants during an attempted robbery in Queens on Friday, but he was able to keep the $41,000 he had hidden in his jacket, according to cops.
The 20-year-old victim told cops that the incident started around 10:30 p.m. when he parked his car at 194th Street and 75th Avenue in Fresh Meadows and was approached by a stranger who began a conversation with him.
According to cops, when the victim got out of his luxury car, he was attacked by the man and two other men he didn’t know.
According to police, one of the attackers began stabbing the victim in the upper body and arm while the other two men attempted to remove the jacket he was wearing, which contained $41,000.
According to a police source, the victim told cops the money was from a family member for his tuition at St. John’s University and that he planned to pay the school the next day.
The victim resisted, and the suspects eventually gave up and fled the scene without the jacket, leaving in a white Cadillac XT5, according to police.
According to cops, the three attackers, described as Asian men in their 20s with thin builds, spoke Mandarin during the assault. According to them, the victim also speaks Mandarin.
The victim was stabbed nine times in the arm and chest and was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.
