A 28-year-old man was arrested and charged Tuesday for stabbing a woman to death as she protected her beau during a wild, caught-on-video brawl outside of a Bronx nightclub, police announced.
Cristian Moya, 28, was arrested around 7:30 p.m. for allegedly slashing Pamela Almonte Cabrera, 35, multiple times in the chest outside the Mama Dora club on East Kingsbridge Road shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday, according to the NYPD.
Moya, of the Bronx, was booked on murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon charges, police said.
Cabrera was slashed during a fight between two groups that broke out as the bar emptied, law-enforcement sources and witnesses told The Post.
One combatant — identified by locals as Cabrera’s husband — was slammed to the ground in the scuffle, prompting her to step in and try to protect her beau from his attacker.
She was then stabbed multiple times, according to police. Witnesses said the culprit used a shattered bottle to deliver the death blow.
“They were fighting, and they were all outside,” a man who witnessed the brawl said. “[The victim] came out with her husband, then the other guys came out, too.”
“That’s when the two groups got into a fight,” one witness who asked not to be identified said.
“She got in the middle so they wouldn’t get to her husband, and that’s when she got stabbed,” the witness said.
Surveillance footage captured a man, now identified as Moya, wearing a yellow jacket and jumping about excitedly before lunging forward and stabbing Cabrera.
He then fled the scene and was on the lam for two days.
Cabrera was put into a private vehicle and rushed to BronxCare Health Systems and then transferred to Lincoln Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to police.
