According to the department, police responded to a 911 call shortly before midnight Tuesday regarding a male possibly stabbed at East 44th St. and 3rd Ave.
Upon arrival, police observed a 55-year-old man with multiple stab wounds to the torso. The victim was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Kidd Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, was subsequently arrested Wednesday on a charge of murder in the second degree.
