A man was stabbed in the Bronx on Saturday at the same spot where Mayor De Blasio signed a series of police reform bills this week, sources told the Post.
The victim was knifed in the right arm around 3 a.m., at East 161 Street and Morris Avenue, police confirmed.
De Blasio signed the suite of six NYPD reform bills Wednesday, including a ban on chokeholds, while admitting concerns that the new laws will handcuff cops.
“People want to be safe. They need to be safe. They want to work with the NYPD and they want respect in turn,” de Blasio said while signing the legislation package after joining activists to paint “Black Lives Matter” on Morris Avenue between between 161st and 162nd streets.
