Long Beach men arrested, charged with I.P. assault

Three Long Beach men were arrested and charged with an assault that took place in Island Park on Feb. 2.

Elmer R. Otero, 19, of West Park Avenue; Marcelo Gomez-Mello, 27, of Michigan Street; and Jorge A. Perdomo, 22, of East Fulton Street were arrested. All three were charged with second-degree assault.

According to police, a fight started in the parking lot of the Lacost Del Sol bar, at 4547 Austin Blvd. in Island Park. Nassau County Police Department detectives said that two male victims, ages 34 and 33, were approached by the three defendants about a financial issue inside the bar. Once outside, police said, the 34-year-old was stabbed in the right arm and left hand, and the 33-year-old was stabbed in the back.

Both victims were transported to South Nassau Communities Hospital for treatment. No weapon was recovered.

The defendants were arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Feb. 3.
