A 9-year-old New Jersey boy was stabbed to death in a Harlem housing project early Saturday while visiting relatives, police and family said.
About 3:30 a.m., the child knocked on the door of his uncle's room in the Grant Houses and collapsed with a chest wound.
"Uncle, uncle, I've been stabbed," he said.
Paramedics rushed the boy to St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital but he couldn't be saved. His grief-stricken mother identified his body there about 8 a.m.
The NYPD said no arrests have been made, but relatives said someone was being questioned.
They said the boy - whose name was not immediately released - was visiting his grandfather for the holiday weekend.
"He was a nice boy," the uncle said.
