BROOKLYN, NY — A Brooklyn man who allegedly flew into a jealous rage when he caught his ex-girlfriend with her new EMT beau was arrested yesterday and charged with fatally stabbing the hero paramedic.
Enrique Pizarro, 25, was awaiting arraignment yesterday on second-degree murder charges for the bloody confrontation outside the apartment of his former girlfriend on Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park.
According to law-enforcement sources, Pizarro visited the woman’s home early Sunday morning and ran into her new boyfriend, 30-year-old Jason Ruiz.
In July, Ruiz, an FDNY paramedic, leapt onto the G train tracks at the Myrtle-Willoughby station to save a woman who had collapsed after a seizure.
