Yesterday, we reported that the son of NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had been arrested for stabbing a neighbor multiple times. Now, chilling new details about the stabbing that have left Abdul-Jabbar’s fans even more shocked.

The New York Post reported that 28 year-old Adam Abdul-Jabbar was arrested at around 10pm on Tuesday night in San Clemente, California on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The victim has since been identified as Ray Winsor, who managed to take himself to the hospital after being stabbed seven times. Despite the multiple stabbing wounds, his injuries have been described as non-life threatening.

Winsor has since told KABC that Adam was living with an elderly woman, and he did not feel that he was doing enough to help her.

“I sort of got on him because the lady who takes care of him is an 83-year-old,” Winsor explained. “(And) he doesn’t do anything for her and it just bums me out. She’s in a walker taking her trash cans down.”

After the dispute, Adam went back inside for a minute, only to return with a knife saying that he was going to “stick a knife through his teeth.”

“I said, ‘Really,’ because I thought he was only joking,” Winsor said. “I’ve known the kid a long time.”

“I turned and he was on me. I thought he was punching me but he actually had a knife,” Winsor added. “After the fourth punch, I felt a very sharp pain and noticed blood coming out of me and then I had one to the top of my head and I was trying to get back to my house and he was in front of me.”

Adam has since posted $25,000 bail, and Winsor said that the young man approached his wife the very next day to apologize. He now has concerns over whether or not Adam was given some kind of psychological evaluation before he was released.

Reporters approached Adam briefly outside his home, but he told them that he does not wish to comment at this time. His NBA hall-of-famer also has not commented on the incident in the days since it occurred.
