Three Haverstraw suspects arrested for attempted murder

Three suspects from Haverstraw were arrested on Wednesday for attempted murder, Haverstraw Police officials say.

The victim was in the area of 17 West Broad St. on Feb. 3 at 10 p.m. when he was approached and attacked by two men and one teenager, according to Capt. John Gould Jr.

Two suspects were identified as Said Diaz, 19, David Ramirez, 18.

The other suspect, 17, allegedly drew a knife and attempted to stab the victim multiple times.

The victim’s large puffer style jacket weakened the impact, but he still suffered multiple cuts around the torso.

His wallet in his pocket also protected him from one of the stabbing attempts.

The 17-year-old was arraigned in Rockland County Youth as part of the Superior Court and remanded to Rockland County Correctional Facility, where he was charged with Attempted Murder, Attempted Gang Assault, Menacing and Attempted Assault each in the second degree as well as Assault in the third degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the fourth degree.

Diaz and Ramirez were arraigned in the Town of Haverstraw Justice Court and charged with Attempted Gang Assault and Attempted Assault each in the second degree as well as Assault in the third degree.

They were sent to Rockland County Correctional Facility, where Diaz has a bail set for $20,000 and Ramirez has a bail set for $15,000.
