MMA fighter kicked out of NYC gym returns, stabs victim in back
A mixed martial arts fighter at a gym in Chelsea was stabbed three times in the back Saturday by an ex-member who was kicked out last year, cops said.
Caleb Perry, 23, entered into Radical Mixed Martial Arts — a combat fighting and self-defense gym — on West 29th Street at Seventh Avenue around 11 a.m. and went looking for management, according to police.
He then got into a fight with the 24-year-old victim before stabbing him in the back repeatedly with a knife, police said.
Apparently Perry had his gym membership revoked sometime last year for an undisclosed reason, a police source told The Post. Cops arrested him at the scene.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Perry was charged with attempted murder, assault and burglary, cops said. He was awaiting arraignment Saturday.
