THE BRONX

* A 26-year-old restaurant worker was stabbed to death in the hallway of his Bronxdale apartment building, police said yesterday.

Augustine Rodriguez was attacked in a third-floor hallway at 2504 Bronx Park East at 9:25 p.m. Sunday, cops said.

According to authorities, Rodriguez, who lives in the building, was on his way home from work when he was attacked.

Neighbors told police they heard Rodriguez arguing with two Hispanic men between the ages of 19 and 24 before he was knifed in the right side of his back and in his left shoulder.

He was rushed to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10 p.m., authorities said.

Cops are unsure of the motive for the attack, and said it did not appear to be a robbery because Rodriguez still had his wallet.

* Police yesterday identified the man who was gunned down in front of a Williamsbridge building.

Kenneth Scott, 32, was shot twice in the chest in front of 3489 Seymour Ave., near Hicks Street at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, cops said.

Scott, of Benchley Place, was rushed to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Cops are still searching for the assailant, and any possible motives.

BROOKLYN

* A Bedford-Stuyvesant woman was arrested for hitting her female companion with a belt during an argument, authorities said yesterday.

Police sources said Sheneen Curry, 20, slugged her 20-year-old friend in the face in the victim’s Greene Avenue apartment at about 10:10 p.m. Sunday.

Curry then allegedly grabbed a belt buckle and beat the woman over the head with it.

The victim suffered a seizure, and sustained a cut that required seven staples to close. Curry fled.

Police were called to the building and found the bloodied woman standing outside.

After she told her story, police went to Curry’s home nearby and placed her under arrest on charges of assault, menacing and weapons possession.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the attack.

QUEENS

* A 64-year-old parolee was nabbed for slashing a Jamaica man who caught the ex-con breaking into his neighbor’s car last month, authorities said.

Willie Payne was busted on Sunday for slicing a 44-year-old man on 119th Road at 7:15 p.m. on April 13, law-enforcement sources said.

That’s when the victim spotted Payne breaking into his neighbor’s car and tried to intervene, only to have Payne slash him in the left side of his face and leave a gash that required 32 stitches to close, police said.

The victim called 911 after the attack, but Payne dropped out of sight until Sunday, when the victim saw him and had him arrested.

According to court records, Payne has three felony drug-sale convictions and was on parole until 2009.

Payne is charged with two counts of assault, weapons possession and harassment, said a spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.

MANHATTAN

* A livery driver was busted for operating a vehicle without a license on the Upper East Side yesterday, law-enforcement sources said.

Luis Francisco, 52, was arrested after he picked up an undercover Taxi and Limousine Commission inspector at the corner of East 94th Street and Third Avenue at 8 a.m., sources said.

Once inside the cab, the inspector discovered that Francisco’s driver’s license was revoked in September 2004 and that he had six suspensions on three different dates, authorities said.

In addition to that, his TLC license was revoked when he failed to submit to a drug test, authorities said.

Francisco, who was booked at the 19th Precinct station house, is charged with aggravated operation of a motor vehicle for driving with a revoked license.
