Police Blotter

Selis Manor stabbing

Wade Eberson, 41, of Selis Manor, a residence for the blind at 135 W. 23rd St., told police that three men stabbed him outside the residence on Sat. Nov. 4. But he changed his story in the hospital and said his pregnant girlfriend had stabbed him in his apartment and fled.

Police later arrested Fleurdliz Rolon, 42, at her home in the Bronx and charged her with second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. Eberson said he told the false story about three strangers because he didn’t want to get Rolon, who is pregnant with his child and also visually impaired, in trouble.

After being stabbed in the chest at about 1:20 a.m., Eberson made his way down 11 flights of stairs of the building and collapsed on the street, where he was found by police and taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a collapsed lung.
