A Bronx man was sentenced to nine years in prison for stabbing a fellow cab driver multiple times during a parking dispute in 2018, causing permanent nerve damage to the victim, officials said. Ronald Brown, 57, of Ely Avenue, was sentenced on November 18, 2024, by Bronx Supreme Court Justice Guy Mitchell after being convicted of first-degree assault following a jury trial. He will also serve five years of post-release supervision, according to Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark.
The attack occurred on Sept. 20, 2018, near White Plains Road and East Gun Hill Road. Prosecutors said Brown became enraged when a 27-year-old cab driver parked too close to his vehicle, blocking him from leaving. When the victim refused to move his car, Brown pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the arm and ribs. Brown then chased the victim and stabbed him in the back. The victim sustained severe injuries, including a severed tendon and permanent nerve damage.
