Man mends from Halloween attack

Horrifying was the only way to describe her Halloween.
Adilia Guiterrez, 26, had spent the evening at the bedside of her fiance, Ricky Hosein, 24, who was slashed and stabbed in the arm and back with a knife defending his family from a gang of costumed thugs in Queens.

"'Thank God I'm alive,'" he whispered to her from his hospital bed, Guiterrez said yesterday.

"He could have died," she said. "He was bleeding all over the concrete."

Late last night, cops announced an arrest in the case. A 15-year-old boy, whose name was not released because of his age, was charged with attempted murder and assault.

"He did the actual stabbing," a police spokeswoman said. "They're still looking for others, but he's the one we wanted."

Guiterrez, Hosein and their daughters, one 6 and the other 10 months, had been out trick-or-treating near their home on 184th St. in Hollis when they encountered the hooligans.

A teenager wearing a Halloween costume threw an egg at them, police said.

Guiterrez said she deflected it with her arm before it could hit the baby, Sierra, in her stroller.

"I got splashed and I yelled at them, 'How are you going to throw an egg at a baby?'" Guiterrez recalled saying. "Ricky then went over to confront them."

As he did, several other youths gathered around and ignored Hosein when he demanded to know which one threw the egg.

Minutes later, when Hosein began to walk away, he was hit squarely in the back with another egg. He then turned to face the group, and was hit by a glass bottle, his fiance said.

The group then jumped Hosein, pummeling him with punches and kicks, Guiterrez said. Someone knifed him.

"All of them just piled on top of him," she said. "I didn't know if I should leave the kids. I didn't know they had a weapon."

When Guiterrez did approach the melee, the youths fled, leaving Hosein bleeding on the sidewalk from three stab wounds, pieces of the attackers' costumes scattered around him, cops said.

what do you expect?

If you screw with someone, and they get mad at you, it's your right to kill them. That's what I've learned from Bush anyway.
