Terror has struck Hell's Kitchen this evening. At the local establishment of Mel's Diner on 9th Ave. and 46th St., it was a normal Friday night when a fight broke out between patrons that has left one dead and two in the hospital with critical injuries.
The NYPD say they responded to Mel's Diner around 4 p.m. on August 2, where eyewitnesses say that there was an argument between customers that turned violent when one of them pulled out a gun and began to fire, shattering the iconic front window of the restaurant. Two of the participants were seen fleeing the scene.
There were no injuries among the bystanders to the brawl, all of whom were able to find cover, police say.
When asked whether this could be related to the rise of organized crime in the borough, he denied this, stating that it seems to be an isolated incident.
The NYPD is investigating the fight and ask witnesses to call 646-667-2653, as the investigation is ongoing.
