The NYPD arrested a man suspected in the stabbing death of a pediatrician found at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem.
The police have also accused Codrington of attacking three people inside a Harlem bar during the five-day violent rampage.
Police said the crime spree began on Dec. 19 in the East Village. It was around 1 a.m. when the 51-year-old man leaving a bar bumped into Codrington – who was walking with his girlfriend – at 214 Avenue A. The men, whom police said did not know each other, argued for about 20 seconds when Codrington allegedly pulled out a knife and slashed the man’s throat.
Police connected Codrington to the attacks in the East Village and East Harlem but they were unable to locate him before he allegedly committed another homicide.
