"So they gave you guys a 50/50 chance of him living?"
Steven Rhamdas, Father
"Yes they gave us 50/50 chance of living. It's like one foot in and one foot out. He got three stab in his body and three stab in his forehead and one in the neck. The doctor told me that the six stabs that he got in his body do not matter because they already fix those, but it's the stab in his neck; the knife was stuck in his neck. They took him to the hospital with the knife in his neck, but it was removed when he went to surgery."
According to information on the streets, the attack centered over an stolen gun which someone suspected Rhamdas had knowledge of.
In one other stabbing, 41 year old JOSEPH MAKHOUL, a Lebanese Laborer of Banak Street, reported that on Thursday afternoon, whilst walking through an Alley off May Flower Street, he was approached by two men known to him and both of them inflicted stab wounds to his left abdomen, left side of the neck and left side of the chest.
