A 26-year-old Yorktown man has been charged with felony second-degree attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed a person in the neck on Sunday, June 15.
The accused, Jared Hunter Alongi, was arraigned in Yorktown Justice Court, a police news release said, and temporary orders of protection were issued for the victim and witness. The defendant was remanded to the Westchester County Jail and is due back in court Tuesday.
No information was provided in the release on the condition of the person who was stabbed.
On Sunday, officers went to the parking lot of the 3303 Crompond Road shopping area to investigate a reported stabbing, the release said. A suspect matching a description tried to flee the scene on foot but was apprehended, according to the police.
The police said the suspect was in possession of the knife when arrested.
