Nicklas Bendtner Stabbing Incident in New York

Former Arsenal star Nicklas Bendtner was involved in a stabbing incident while visiting New York's Upper West Side, where a friend was attacked. CCTV footage captured the moment a knife-wielding man approached Bendtner's group, resulting in a 55-year-old Danish former professional footballer being injured. The attacker, identified as 25-year-old Joshua Zinberg, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and assault. Bendtner confirmed his presence in the footage but refrained from commenting on whether he was the target. New York Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the city's mental health facility closures as a contributing factor to such incidents, noting the attacker's mental health issues and criminal background. Zinberg's mother reported him to the police after recognizing him on television.
