At around 5:30 pm, multiple injured individuals were rushed to the emergency room from Pier 4.
Near the junction of Brooklyn Navy Yard and Brooklyn Army Terminal, a violent stabbing incident unfolded on the Brooklyn waterfront.
Three individuals were rushed to the hospital with stab wounds to their torso, chest, and abdomen. Additionally, a 28-year-old man sustained a head wound from a bottle that had been thrown.
According to the NYPD, all the victims remained conscious and alert. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) promptly arrived and transported them to NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn, where they were in stable condition.
Additionally, two other individuals sustained minor injuries and received on-site treatment, but they declined further medical assistance.
Despite the incident, no arrests were made on Saturday. However, an ongoing investigation is in progress. Authorities directed all 1,300 individuals aboard the boat to disembark upon their arrival at the scene.
The event company, which organized the day and night parties on the boat, acknowledged the ‘crime scene’ near the pier and announced the postponement of the evening event via social media.
BYFAR Entertainment has consistently prioritized safety during events in New York City, and this unusual incident is not reflective of our usual standards.
Although authorities have not yet officially identified the boat responsible for the alarming incident, numerous images and videos from that night clearly implicate the Cornucopia Majesty. According to the report, none of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries during the event.
The pier where the incident occurred was once an Army supply depot and now serves as a hub for various industrial businesses, as well as the city’s ferry service and private vessels.
