Gerritsen Beach was rocked by violence this morning after six people were viciously slashed in a terrifying attack that unfolded after a party. Witnesses reported seeing multiple individuals chased through the streets and attacked with blades, leaving deep wounds across their faces, necks, and arms.
Blood stains were left throughout the neighborhood, marking cars, sidewalks, and doorways as evidence of the chaos. “It was like something out of a nightmare,” said one shocked resident. “They were running, but they couldn’t escape in time.”
The incident has drawn attention to a local house that has been the center of neighborhood concern for months. According to residents, the house is home to a group of migrants—around 30 people, including 15 children—and has been the source of frequent disturbances since they moved in. Neighbors say complaints have been made to authorities, including the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), due to concerns about the children and ongoing domestic issues.
“This place has caused nothing but problems,” one neighbor said. “We’ve been reporting disturbances and fights for a while, and now it’s come to this.”
In addition to the escalating violence, neighbors have also alleged that some individuals from the residence have been stealing packages off their doorsteps. “It’s been happening for a while,” one resident claimed. “We see them on the security cameras taking deliveries right off people’s porches.”
Tensions have been further heightened by allegations that some individuals from the residence may have been involved in previous shoplifting incidents in Queens. Neighbors also allege that stolen goods may have been stored at the house. “We’ve seen suspicious activity—people coming and going with bags at all hours,” another resident said.
This morning’s violent attack has left the community in shock. Eyewitnesses described the attack as targeted, with the assailants chasing their victims before inflicting the brutal injuries. “They didn’t stop; they were slashing everywhere,” said a witness. “It looked personal.”
While police have launched an investigation, they have yet to officially link the violence to any of the residents in the house. However, locals remain on edge, convinced that more trouble may follow. “We’ve been warning about this for a long time,” another resident commented. “It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.”
The victims, who suffered severe injuries, are currently receiving medical treatment. The aftermath of the attack has left a visible mark on the neighborhood, with bloodstains across the streets and a deep sense of fear hanging over the community.
“I’ve lived here for years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said one neighbor. “People are scared. They’re locking their doors, and nobody knows what’s going to happen next.”
As the investigation continues, Garrison Beach residents are calling for swift action from authorities to restore peace to their community. “It’s a bloodbath, and people are terrified,” a resident concluded. “Something has to change before more people get hurt.”
