Deadly Knife Fight Erupts Between Men Who Met on Grindr

A violent altercation in an Upper East Side apartment left one man dead and another seriously injured, police say.

The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in an apartment on East 95th Street in Manhattan.
The two men involved had met through the gay dating app Grindr, according to law enforcement sources.
The visitor allegedly initiated the attack, prompting the resident to defend himself with a kitchen knife.
Police found the visitor dead at the scene with trauma to his chest and neck, while the resident was hospitalized in serious but stable condition.
Authorities recovered two knives from the scene and are investigating whether the resident's actions were in self-defense.
