Columbia graduate student fatally stabbed, second man wounded in New York City

A Columbia University graduate student from Italy was fatally stabbed and another man was wounded in separate attacks near the university’s upper Manhattan campus, authorities said Friday.

The attacks started just before 11 p.m. Thursday when Davide Giri, 30, was stabbed in the stomach on Amsterdam Avenue near the Columbia campus, authorities said. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. “This news is both unspeakably sad and deeply shocking, as it took place only steps from our campus,” Bollinger wrote. “On behalf of the entire Columbia community, I send my deepest condolences to Davide’s family.”

A 25-year-old man who fit the description that had been provided to police of the suspect in the two stabbings was arrested in Central Park several blocks from the location of the second stabbing while menacing a third man with a knife, police said. Charges against the suspect were pending Friday. His name was not immediately released.
