Showbiz heir, 20, is charged with attempted murder over shocking NYC bar attack
A late Saturday Night Live music coordinator's son has been charged with attempted murder over a shocking bar attack in New York City. Arlo Willner, 20, allegedly stabbed three men outside of Sally's Bar in the Kips Bay area of Manhattan around 3.30am Saturday, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the New York Post. Willner, whose father Hal Willner worked on the popular NBC program for decades, approached the trio in an attempt to purchase cocaine, the complaint states. An argument allegedly ensued after the victims told Willner 'this was not the place for that', with violence erupting when the 20-year-old brandished a pocketknife. Willner stabbed one man, 46, in the neck, before stabbing another, 45, in the the shoulder, according to the complaint. He then allegedly stabbed the third, who is in his 30s, in the stomach. Police said the victims, whose identities have not been released, were taken to nearby Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. Willner was arrested and charged with assault and criminal-possession-of-a-weapon, but prosecutors later upgraded the charges to attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon, the Post reports. The suspect pleaded guilty to all counts during his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. NYC Department of Corrections records reviewed by revealed he was released on bail. Willner is next due in court on May 22. His attorney David Scott Smith did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Man accused of slashing trio outside NYC bar is son of late-night TV royalty
The young man who allegedly slashed three people during a fight outside a Manhattan bar Saturday is the son of late-night TV royalty — and is now facing an attempted-murder charge. Arlo Willner, the 20-year-old offspring of late 'Saturday Night Live' music coordinator Hal Willner and his wife Sheila Rogers — an Emmy Award-winning producer for James Corden and David Letterman — pleaded not guilty to the upgraded charge and related counts at his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court. His bail was set at $100,000 cash or $200,000 bond — and bond was swiftly posted for him, allowing him to stroll out of jail in less than a day. Willner — whose 2004 birth was marked in a New York Post column at the time — allegedly started the bloody argument around 3:30 a.m. when he approached the trio of victims outside Sally's Bar in Kips Bay and asked to buy cocaine, according to a criminal complaint. The three male victims 'informed [Willner] that this was not the place for that,' and the suspect's ensuing verbal outrage turned physical when he pulled a knife, the complaint said. Willner allegedly slashed one victim, 46, in the neck that led to a deep laceration and massive bleeding, while he stabbed another victim, 45, in the shoulder and slashed the third, who is in his 30s, in the stomach, according to the complaint. The rampage finally came to an end when one of the victims grabbed the knife and threw it in the street. Manhattan prosecutors also charged Willner with two counts of first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon on top of the attempted-murder rap. He was initially slapped with only assault and criminal-possession-of-a-weapon charges by police. While a judge set the $100,000 cash bail or $200,000 bond amounts in the case, the suspect was out of custody in less within a day after celebrity bondsman Ira Judelson secured a $200,000 bond, law-enforcement sources said. Judelson is known as the 'bondman to the stars' for working with numerous high-profile clients over the years, including Harvey Weinstein, DMX and Ja Rule. Willner's mother Rogers was a three-time Emmy-winning supervisor producer for 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' before the CBS program ended in 2023, and she previously worked for the 'Late Show with David Letterman,' according to her LinkedIn profile. Hal Willner was a highly regarded music producer for 'SNL' for decades before his death in April 2020. He was suffering from symptoms associated with COVID-19 when he died at 64 years old, according to reports at the time. He was also known for putting together a series of eccentric all-star tribute albums. A lawyer for Arlo Willner, David Scott Smith, declined comment on the case Sunday. A call left for Rogers and Willner was not returned. His next court appearance is May 22.

Trio stabbed during knife fight at NYC bar, man arrested
One person was arrested after three men were slashed outside a Manhattan bar during a fight early Saturday, cops said. The fracas erupted around 3:30 a.m. after closing outside Sally's Bar on Lexington Avenue near East 29th Street in Kips Bay, police said. The victims were approached by a group of men who asked them if they had any drugs, a police source said. One of the men then pulled out a pocketknife and slashed the threesome, the source said. One victim, who was in his 30s, was cut in his abdomen, a 45-year-old was slashed on the shoulder and a 46-year-old was cut on his neck, cops said. They were taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, cops said. Arlo Willner, 20, was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, police said. He has no prior arrests, a police source said Matthew Adams, 49, a tattoo artist for 26 years who works in the neighborhood, said too many people are armed. 'It's a shame that people walk around with knives,' he said. 'He already has a stupid mentality. He's carrying a knife, he's looking for a fight.' The neighborhood is usually safe, he added. 'But I'm a New Yorker,' he said. 'Anything can happen anywhere. It's very unfortunate this happened here because you have blood on the sidewalk of a nice neighborhood.' Rachelle Loyear, 50, who works in the security industry and has been living in the neighborhood for 10 years, said she was 'shocked' by the incident. 'I would absolutely walk up and down the street at 2 o'clock in the morning and feel perfectly safe,' she said, adding she may now change her ways. 'I may choose not to do that.'
