NATION : Stabbing Death Over Turkey Leg

NEW YORK —  One homeless man stabbed another to death in a subway station today, apparently to protect a turkey leg, transit police said.

Transit Authority police spokesman Al O’Leary said the incident occurred as Vincent G. Williams, 59, was eating a turkey leg with a knife in the waiting area of a station. The victim, another homeless man whose identity was not immediately established, was also in the waiting area.

“Although no words were exchanged, Mr. Williams perceived somehow that the victim wanted his turkey leg, took the 10-inch knife and stabbed the other man once in the heart,” O’Leary said.
