(Pittsburgh, PA) Fifty-one-year-old John Reznickcheck of Tarentum is now in the Allegheny County Jail after he got accused of allegedly stabbing a man in the Homewood North neighborhood of Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Police got called to Brushton Avenue on Tuesday for a stabbing report and when police arrived on the scene, they found him sitting on a sidewalk near the Pittsburgh Student Achievement Center. This male victim was taken to the hospital and was helped by EMS and multiple people because of this incident and he told police that he and his girlfriend were heading to the house of a friend when they were stopped by Reznickcheck just to talk, but after a period of time that was short, they went on their way and continued doing that. When the male victim arrived at the home of their friend he left again on his bicycle to go to the grocery store. The male victim was riding that bicycle at the time of the alleged stabbing and Reznickcheck allegedly jumped on his back, put a knife to his neck, and demanded he give him everything in his pocket. The victim told police Reznickcheck took “a couple hundred dollars” and sliced his neck and the male victim was able to recognize Reznickcheck from their last meeting. Reznickcheck tried to escape even though the male victim described Reznickcheck to police. Reznickcheck was taken into custody on Wednesday in the Frankstown Avenue area and faces charges of aggravated assault, evading arrest, robbery and recklessly endangering another person.
