No one was injured.

Naishan Davis, 18, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with assault, menacing, robbery and burglary after one of the victims spotted him on Osborn Street.
Sources said Davis and four others were let into the Bristol Street apartment by the nephew of the 36-year-old victim after the suspects rang the doorbell at about 3:30 p.m. on May 13 of last year.
The man heard his nephew screaming and went to see what was wrong. He encountered the suspects holding a gun to his nephew’s head on a flight of stairs, sources said.

THE BRONX
* A woman five months pregnant was repeatedly stabbed in a Melrose park early yesterday, allegedly by an ex-girlfriend of the baby’s father, police sources said.
The suspect had just been released from prison, the sources said. The mother and the baby survived the attack.
The stabbing occurred as the woman, Tiffany Muskully, 19, crossed the Grove Hill Playground next to PS 157 at East 158th Street and Cauldwell Avenue around 2 a.m., police said.
Muskully had left her grandmother’s house to buy milk for her 2-year-old son, Justin, at a nearby store when she was attacked in the playground.
She was stabbed at least 10 times in the stomach, back and chest, the grandmother said.
As paramedics rushed Muskully to the hospital in critical condition, she told police that she knew her attacker – a 24-year-old woman, a source said.
The suspect, who was just recently released from prison, dated the father of Muskully’s baby before being incarcerated, and investigators think jealousy may have been the motive, the source said. (s, lcf)
