ALLENTOWN, Pa. — An Allentown man was sent to jail Wednesday for stabbing his former girlfriend and her uncle with a steak knife during a fight last year that started over a video game system.
Jose Osvaldo Cruz, 36, was ordered by Lehigh County Judge Robert L. Steinberg to serve 11 1/2 to 23 months in county jail.
Police say Cruz stabbed Luz Rivera, the mother of two of his children, in her right hand and then stabbed Roberto Vargas, her uncle, in the shoulder and right hand around 12:40 p.m. April 17 as Vargas intervened in the fight at the apartment in the 100 block of North 12th Street.
The niece and uncle lived in the apartment and Cruz had recently moved in, but was in the process of moving out when the stabbings occurred, according to testimony Wednesday.
“He stabbed me right in the shoulder,” Vargas told Steinberg. “Then, boom — he stabbed me again.”
