A jilted lover killed his ex-girlfriend's new beau in a fit of rage Wednesday morning in Brooklyn, police said.
The attack happened in the first-floor hallway of a brownstone on Sutter Ave. in East New York at about 4.30 a.m.
The new couple were spending time together when the woman's 40-year-old ex-lover arrived and a fight broke out, police and witnesses said.
The boyfriend, Milford Brutus, 39, was stabbed and died at the scene, police said.
Brutus' 43-year-old uncle was also involved in the confrontation and was stabbed in the abdomen.
He was transported to Brookdale Hospital but expected to survive, police said.
Sources said the ex-boyfriend was arrested at the scene when police arrived and taken into custody while the victim's girlfriend was taken to the 75 Precinct to be interviewed.
Police are describing the incident as a domestic homicide.
