The
victim – whose family has not been notified of his death – was fighting
with Antonio Bruno, 29, on 12th St., between 5th and 6th Avenues, at 8
p.m. Monday, a police source said.

The victim was stabbed once in the chest and taken to Methodist Hospital where he died of his wound a short time later.

Police
responding to the scene arrested Bruno and found a knife at the scene.
Bruno, who was treated at the same Brooklyn hospital for minor
injuries, has a lengthy rap sheet dotted with drug arrests, the police
source said.

Charges against Bruno are pending, officials said.
