A security person who tossed troublemakers from a popular Washington Heights hangout was stabbed to death early Tuesday, police said.
Arsene Epouta was knifed in the chest after jumping in the middle of a fight at La Casa del Mofongo. “Our security guard tried to break up the fight,” said Franklin Cruz, the restaurant manager.
Epouta cleared the 24-hour Dominican restaurant of the brawlers just after 3:30 a.m.
“He ejected some people from that location,” said a police source.
The fight spilled onto St. Nicholas Ave. near W. 183rd St., and that’s when someone repeatedly stabbed Epouta, who died at New-York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia.
“This never happens here,” Cruz said of the restaurant, which attracts cops and Dominican politician and athletes.
“We feel sorry for the family of the worker.”
Police were looking at surveillance video from the restaurant’s cameras. Three people were being interrogated at the 34th Precinct stationhouse, but no arrests had been made.
