An East Harlem man faces murder and assault charges in connection with a bloody rampage in his home neighborhood and the Lower East Side this month that left two men dead and two others seriously injured, police brass announced Monday morning.
Roland Codrington, 35, of 2nd Avenue is accused of slashing and stabbing two men to death whom he encountered, and— knifing two patrons who came to the aid of a female bartender whom he allegedly choked with a baseball bat.
According to Essig, Codrigton has a laundry list of prior arrests dating back to 2006, many of which were for assault with a weapon. He was arrested earlier this year for several auto-related assaults, the chief of detectives noted. Moments later, officers from the 9th Precinct found the victim unconscious and unresponsive with a 10-inch slash wound. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
“During the investigation, it was determined that the individual had a previous dispute in the bar approximately a week ago because he felt disrespected by the employees,” Essig explained. “He was asked to leave. A female was with him” at the time of the previous visit. Officers from the 23rd Precinct found Henry stabbed multiple times in the back, torso, buttocks, eye and palms, and was pronounced dead a short time later.
