"I thought they were fighting, and when I ran out the apartment, I just see him getting stabbed," Lecker said. "I tried to save him, push the guy off, and I saw that he was on the floor and dragged him into my apartment. I tried to do CPR and there just blood everywhere."
NYPD says Saun Pyles stabbed the 27-year-old father was arrested on Friday.
The ongoing disturbance with the music was a constant problem with Pyles.
"He would do it when my daughter, had to go to school in the morning," Lecker said. "Four or five in the morning. Still party, you'd think it's a block party, that's how loud it was."
