A man in Brooklyn allegedly attacked his wife and daughter, stabbed himself in the stomach and set a fire before he was arrested, authorities said.
Police responding to a home on 42nd Street in Sunset Park around 3:30 p.m. Friday found three people injured in what appeared to be a domestic dispute, the NYPD said.
The 64-year-old man allegedly slashed his 63-year-old wife’s finger and slashed their 45-year-old daughter on both shoulders before stabbing himself in the stomach, authorities said.
The incident happened before 4 p.m. Friday at 373 42nd St. in Brooklyn.
The man also allegedly tried to set the home on fire, according to police.
Authorities say the 64-year-old man and the 63-year-old woman were having a verbal altercation that resulted in him getting a knife from the kitchen. They say the wife tried to defend herself and take the knife. She was slashed in the finger.
None of the three sustained serious injuries, and all of them are expected to survive, police said.
The man was taken into police custody, and all three family members were taken to the hospital for treatment, according to police.
The FDNY put out the fire the man set, police said.
