An apartment in Rochdale was the site of a bloody stabbing following an argument between an uncle and his nephew over the weekend.

Cops charged Eric Coleman with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly stabbing his nephew, Terrall, multiple times in the head and torso on Saturday, just before 5 a.m.. Police told media outlets that Terrall had a history of mental illness, but the Eagle could not confirm that with the NYPD as of press time.

First responders rushed Terrall from his 127th Avenue apartment to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The investigation is still ongoing, police say.
