A man was stabbed multiple times on North Wellwood Avenue in Lindenhurst near the Brewhaus Pub and Nick's Smoke Shop on early Monday morning, police said.

According to the Suffolk County Police Department, Lindenhurst residents Dale Campiglia, 47, and Robert St. John, 25, were involved in an altercation in the street in front of 111 North Wellwood Avenue when Campiglia reportedly stabbed St. John multiple times.
