Sean Jones, 38, of The Bronx, is accused of killing George Ennin, 53, in front of 3077 3rd Ave. on Monday. Ennin was attacked two blocks from his home and steps away from Flynn Playground.
Authorities say officers discovered Ennin just before 2 p.m., unconscious and unresponsive with stab wounds throughout his body. EMS rushed him to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, where he died.
The attack was caught on surveillance video, showing the knife-wielding man trip Ennin before stabbing him multiple times as he lies helpless on the sidewalk.
Police say Jones faces additional charges, including manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. They also say he was previously arrested for incidents, including robbery, marijuana sale, fare evasion and assault.
