KINGSTON - Four Kingston residents were arrested this week and charged with gang assault and other felonies in connection with a non-fatal stabbing in the Kingston Plaza on March 10.

Kingston police said the arrests were a result of an investigation by the Kingston City Police - Ulster Town Police Special Investigations Unit.

A news release issued by city police on Thursday identified the four people arrested as Darryl Green, 35; Demetrius Dixon, 43; Jalen Allen, 31; and Fantasia Allen, 32; all of Kingston.

They were arrested following the execution of a search warrant at 84 Clinton Ave. on Wednesday.

All four were charged with one count each of first-degree gang assault, first-degree assault and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, all felonies.

In addition, Green was charged with eight counts each of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, while Dixon was charged with two counts each of both of those charges.

The assault and weapons charges were a result of an incident early on the morning of March 10, when a 41-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in the Kingston Plaza. The man, who was not identified by police, underwent emergency surgery at HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley Hospital in Kingston.

Despite his severe injuries, he survived, and has since been released from the hospital.
