Man fatally stabbed during Brooklyn street brawl in front of notorious restaurant

A man was knifed to death early Saturday during a bloody brawl outside a troubled Brooklyn Mexican restaurant, cops and borough leaders said.

As a massive snowstorm slammed the city, up to 10 men began fighting outside Catrinas Mexican Grill on Third Ave. near 73rd St. in Bay Ridge around 3:45 a.m.

The quarrel started inside the restaurant and quickly spilled outside, cops said.

When police responding to 911 calls arrived, they found a 22-year-old man sprawled out on the ground with a stab wound to the chest. A second man, also 22, had a deep gash to the head.

EMS took both men to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where the man knifed in the chest died. His name was not immediately released.

The other man was treated for a minor injury.

Cops were still trying to determine what caused the fight. The man who was killed has no criminal history, a police source said.

Most of the brawlers fled down Third Ave. and no arrests have been made. Cops were scouring the area Saturday looking for surveillance footage.

City Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Bay Ridge) said the fatal brawl was “part of a well-documented and dangerous pattern of illegal and reckless behavior from this establishment over the years.”

“It is clear that the owners of Catrina’s have no intention of following the law, no regard for the neighborhood in which they operate, and even less regard for keeping their own customers safe,” Brannan said on Facebook. “To that end, I will be working with my colleagues in government to have Catrina’s liquor license revoked.”

A call to the restaurant for comment Saturday afternoon was not returned.
