Patrolman David Martin was stabbed to death while attempting to arrest a suspect that had just burglarized 128 Adams Street in Brooklyn.
When a neighbor heard someone in the house he summoned Patrolman Martin. Patrolman Martin gave chase of the suspect and overtook him at the corner of Prospect and Washington Streets. As Patrolman Martin grabbed hold of the suspect, he suddenly turned and stabbed the patrolman twice in the neck.
Injured, Patrolman Martin was able to hit the suspect in the head with his club, knocking him senseless to the sidewalk. Two Patrolmen who heard the disturbance responded and captured the suspect.
Patrolman Martin was removed to a doctor's office, but the doctor was unable to treat the wounds and Patrolman Martin died 15 minutes later.
Patrolman Martin is survived by his wife and three children.
