A man stabbed his parents during a dispute over money at their Flushing home Tuesday morning, according to police.
The incident happened just before 9 a.m. at a residence on Sanford Avenue near Parsons Boulevard, authorities said.
As the argument escalated, the son took a kitchen knife and stabbed his 73-year-old father and 68-year-old mother in the neck, according to police.
The couple was taken to New York Hospital Queens with non-life-threatening injuries.
Their son, 44-year-old Zhong Chen, has been charged with second-degree attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
A garbage fire was also reported at the same address of the stabbing at 9:04 a.m. that day, which started outside the building and extended to the first floor, the FDNY said. It was not immediately clear whether the two incidents were connected.
