A Bronx man was hauled in for questioning after a lover’s quarrel turned deadly, police said Saturday.
The man’s stepdaughter, 36, and her boyfriend, 32-year-old Christian Montes, got into a fight inside an apartment on Valentine Avenue in Fordham Heights at about 10:45 p.m. Friday, officials said.
That’s when the woman’s stepfather, 60, stepped in, cops said.
When police arrived, they found Montes outside the apartment with a stab wound to his chest. He was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The stepfather was also found slashed across the face, police said.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment — then brought in for questioning, according to authorities.
Police recovered a knife at the scene, though it was not immediately clear who it belonged to, cops said.
Montes’ mother, Deborah Arce, 50, told The Post her son had been staying at his girlfriend’s apartment in the week before his death, she said. Before that, he had spent several years in jail.
“He was a nice guy, but if you get with him the wrong way, he want to fight,” said Arce.
She told The Post that she had disapproved of Montes’ girlfriend.
“The girl was not good for him,” she said. “He [went] the wrong way with that lady.”
