INWOOD (WABC) -- Police say an Inwood barbershop employee was fatally stabbed by a 59 year old patron in the culmination of an ongoing dispute.

26-year-old Michael Hernandez was attacked outside the West 207th Street barbershop at 9:55 p.m. Sunday night.

He was stabbed in the chest and pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital soon after.
