A young migrant was stabbed and killed during an altercation in New York City last week, marking the latest incident of violence in New York during the influx of thousands of illegal aliens. The incident occurred just months after a number of other high-profile attacks.
The young man was stabbed to death by another migrant outside of an East Harlem migrant shelter. Following the stabbing, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The alleged assailant was arrested.
The incident occurred at a former dorm for college students that was transformed into a shelter.

The stabbing death is not the only significant act of violence involving migrants in the city this year. Earlier this year several migrant youths attacked members of the New York Police Department (NYPD) in public at Times Square. The incident was caught on video.
Following the attack on police officers, Times Square also saw two other significant incidents. In one, a migrant youth shot a tourist and then attempted to flee the city with his mother before being arrested.
In another, several migrants were injured during a fight with other migrant youths, also in Times Square.
The NYPD also warned about the increase in crime due in part to the migrant wave. The city has seen about 200,000 illegal aliens enter in the last two years.
Furthermore, some of the migrants belong to criminal gangs that are reportedly organizing or reorganizing in the city.
The flow of migrants has sparked significant political debate, as well as a series of budget cuts in the city. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said that Gotham may need to raise taxes to help cover the increasing cost of food, shelter and other expenses for the migrants.
On Jan. 7 there was another stabbing death of a migrant at the city’s Randall’s Island shelter. In this case, a 24-year-old man was stabbed to death by another migrant. The slain man had allegedly fought with four people.
