A Levittown man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing another man during an argument.
On January 4 at 3:45 p.m., Nassau County officers from the Eighth Squad responded to a disturbance on Hempstead Turnpike in the vicinity of Berger Avenue in Levittown. Officers determined that a 59-year-old
male victim, while seated in his vehicle, was involved in an argument with Richard Avolin, who was walking by.

After a thorough investigation, detectives located Avolin, 36, of 48 Longfellow Avenue. He was arrested without incident at his residence. He was charged with first-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal
possession of a weapon and third-degree criminal mischief . He was scheduled to be arraigned on January 7 at First District Court in Hempstead.
