A man was fatally stabbed near a mobile cannabis dispensary in the Bronx Saturday night, police reported.
Officers responded to a 911 call around 9:52 p.m. for a stabbing that occurred steps from a brightly colored mobile cannabis dispensary, according to cops. The incident left streets stained with blood at the scene.
The fatal stabbing highlights ongoing public safety concerns in areas where cannabis dispensaries operate. Mobile dispensaries have become increasingly common in New York City since the state legalized recreational marijuana sales.
Police have not released details about the victim's identity, the circumstances leading to the stabbing, or whether any arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
The investigation into the fatal stabbing remains ongoing.
