Two men were stabbed—one fatally—in an attack that took place in South Ozone Park Wednesday.

Police received a 911 call at around 3 p.m. yesterday that two men had been assaulted in the vicinity of Lefferts Boulevard and Rockaway Boulevard.

When police arrived at the scene, they found a 20-year-old man with a stab wound to his chest and another man, also 20, with a stab wound to his right leg.

Both victims were transported to Jamaica Hospital, where the man with the chest wound was pronounced dead, while the other victim was listed in stable condition.

Police said that the stabbings stemmed from a dispute the victims were having with a group of men. There have been no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.

The name of the deceased man has not yet been released, pending family notification.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
