A police source confirmed to FOX 5 that the victim and the suspect knew each other and got into a dispute at a nearby park before the fatal stabbing.
The victim was rushed to the Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The victim’s identity is being withheld pending family notification, police said.
The death at the New York City subway station comes amid a steady uptick of violence in the popular mode of transportation.
There have been more than 1,700 arrests for turnstile-jumping and over 28,000 fare evasion tickets issued so far this year, data shows.
Police and Mayor Eric Adams, a former transit officer himself, have suggested some links between fare-skipping and violence on the trains.
In March, a man was shot in the head with his own gun after a brawl in a packed subway car. The man who was armed with the gun had walked through an emergency gate and did not pay his fare, police said.
