    On Friday eve, Underhill/Prospect-ish was closed with backhoes digging I think. Dunno if that is relevant. Maybe the work is moving down Underhill as per your other post.

    It looks like it could have been a homicide. From Gothamist:

    BROOKLYN: *SERIOUS ASSAULT* (77 PCT) UNDERHILL AVE & PROSPECT PL, AIDED ASSAULTED BY A GROUP OF MALES IN TRAUMATIC ARREST, ESU ENRT,

    I asked my buddy on the NYPD if there was record of a homicide ...

    Looks like there was a big fight front of 12 Underhill Ave. Two people were stabbed and one was hit in the head with a hammer. No one died from the incident as far as the latest report. It's possible that one could have died later in the hospital.

    Armchair, et al, this seems to match:

    Five wounded

    A crew of thugs sparked a bloody early morning brawl on Underhill Avenue on Feb. 6 — a fight that landed five men in the hospital.

    Witnesses said an argument broke out between two groups inside Club Status on Atlantic Avenue between Underhill and Vanderbilt avenues at 4:25 am.

    The fight spilled outside and quickly turned bloody when one of the combatants pulled a knife and jammed it into his 28-year-old opponent’s groin. Another man, 20, was stabbed in the chest and arm.

    The remaining victims included a 28-year-old who suffered a broken jaw and a fourth man who was struck in the head with a hammer. The fifth victim was clobbered with a parking cone — then hit by a passing car when he fell into the street, stunned witnesses told police.

    Deep in the animal part of my brain I can imagine carrying a knife... but who brings a hammer to a club? A carpenter?

    Man, that club is the worst. There are always fights and if not fights just general mean mugging and bad vibes. Personally, I go out to have fun. I can not understand this younger generation and their ways. Also the fights can be over the dumbest most trivial things like you looked at my girl or whatever. WTF!
