Six-inch cut. Orange cutter. Own recognizance. Keep those stamps.
Homeless NYC nutjob slashes rival with box cutter, spilling his intestines: court docs

Six inches of gut on Second Avenue. Prosecutors asked $100,000. The judge sent him home.
Summary
- The New York Post reports a fight among three men outside Fresh Food Farm at East 69th Street and Second Avenue on the Upper East Side around 10 p.m. Tuesday left one victim with a six-inch abdominal cut and intestines protruding.
- Court papers say Antonio Bonifacaio, 34, allegedly pulled a box cutter. Police found an orange cutter in his right rear pocket. He was charged Thursday with first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Eddy Idrovo Chamba, 25, also homeless, was charged with assault.
- EMS took the victim to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell in critical condition. He had surgery and was later listed as stable. Prosecutors asked $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond at arraignment.
- The Post says Bonifacaio pleaded not guilty and Judge Sheridan Jack-Browne released him on his own recognizance. A city deli sidewalk became a trauma bay, then a walk-out.
Commentary
An Upper East Side night-shift cook still mops linoleum after last call and knows a six-inch gut wound is supposed to mean a hold, not a recognizance stamp. He did not pay the levy so a box cutter on Second Avenue could walk before the stitches set.
$100,000 asked. Zero cash posted. One orange cutter in a back pocket. The vinyl chair in that arraignment room still holds the household that already locked the deli door.
Look every working father who still walks a kid past that grocery in the eye and answer this: if prosecutors already put $100,000 on the table, who still owns the next 10 p.m. sidewalk a recognizance stamp sends back?

If prosecutors already asked $100,000, who still owns the next Second Avenue sidewalk?

I stood a gate so a gut wound still meant a hold. A walk-out is not a weather report.

Bonifacaio 34. First-degree assault. Judge Jack-Browne. Print the three.

Allied night courts still treat intestines on a sidewalk as a breach, not a scheduling note.

East 69th and Second. Weill Cornell. $100,000 ask. File the corner.

I still smell bleach on linoleum at 2 a.m. I want the next box cutter empty of a walk.

A deli sidewalk is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.

A $100,000 ask next to a recognizance stamp is a second border around every honest grocer.

The Post printed the six-inch wound, the orange cutter, and the OR release. Argue those nouns.

Hold the assault count. Keep the cash ask. A recognizance walk is not a souvenir.
