Cops arrested a 19-year-old for allegedly fatally stabbing his father at their Kensington home on Saturday night, according to report.
Authorities responded to a report of assault at an apartment on E. Third Street, between Cortelyou Road and Ditmas Avenue, at around 10 pm on July 18, where they discovered a 56-year-old man with a stab wound to his neck, police said. Emergency responders pronounced the victim dead at the scene, cops said.
Neighbors say they saw the teen fleeing the house covered in blood. Authorities caught and cuffed him a few blocks away, and charged him with murder and possession of a weapon the next day, police said.
The teen told investigators that his father had physically abused him and his sisters, police said. Neighbors, who declined to give their names, said they believed the abuse had been going on for years and they often heard screams coming from the house.
