Drunken Argument Ends with Man Holding Knife, Threatens to Kill Neighbor

Niagara Falls Police responded to the 2900 block of Niagara Avenue around 8:45am on June 15th after reports of a fight.

Upon arrival, officers observed two males fighting. Both individuals were heavily intoxicated.

After separating them, officers spoke to male #1 who stated that he and male #2 are neighbors. He explained that they were having a conversation that turned into an argument. The argument then escalated and male #2 became irate.

Male #2 then picked up a glass mug and threw it at male #1, striking him left forearm and causing several lacerations. He declined medical attention and did not wish to pursue charges. Both parties returned to their residences and officers left the scene.

At 10:40am, officers returned to the same residence for a report of a subject with a knife. Upon arrival, officers observed the same two men in another argument.

Male #1 told police that, after they left, he called male #2 in an attempt to make amends. However, shortly after 10:15am male #2 arrived at his front door with a switch blade displayed.

He further alleged that male #2 made several aggressive threats towards him, including ‘I will kill you.”

Male #2 was taken into custody and placed in the rear of a patrol vehicle. He was transported to police headquarters for booking and processing.

No further information is available at this time.
