A Third Man Dies From Hammer Attack at Seaport Buffet in Sheepshead Bay | Eater NY

"In Sheepshead Bay, I learned that the Seaport Buffet was the scene of a brutal hammer attack on Tuesday, January 15 around 5 p.m., when a man allegedly entered the Chinese seafood restaurant and struck three employees while diners were present. Chef Fufai Pun died last Tuesday, manager Kheon Ng-Thang died last week, and another manager, Tsz Mat Pun, died today, leaving all three victims dead. Police have identified the suspect as Arthur Martunovich, a Brooklyn local with no previous arrests; he has been charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and more charges are likely. Sources say Martunovich told police he attacked after seeing a movie about Chinese mistreatment of women and claimed he was "acting out of chivalry by defending Chinese women," allegedly avoiding non-Asian staffers and saying, "I am not here for you." A GoFundMe page is raising money for funeral and medical expenses with a $150,000 goal, and community members are reportedly trying to get the victims' families from China to New York for funerals." - Serena Dai
