The 44-year-old victim was stabbed around 2:37 p.m. Thursday in Manorville by Gregory Spina, 43, as the victim’s wife watched helplessly, police said.
The victim, a Manorville resident, was driving along Wading River Road at about 2:30 p.m. when Spina, driving a gray Volvo, blazed past him at the South Street intersection, police said.
The victim, whose name was not released, believed Spina hit his 2017 Hyundai. So he pulled into a parking lot next to the intersection to inspect the damage, Suffolk County cops said.
The Volvo driver pulled into the lot after him, and began fighting with the victim and knifed him once in the stomach, cops said.
Spina, who lives in Glen Cove, jumped back into his car and fled the scene, police said. He was arrested Friday.
The victim was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. The victim’s wife was not injured, police said.
