A 24-year-old man was charged with second-degree murder for fatally stabbing one of two men he tried to stop from stealing candy from a New York subway newsstand, authorities said. Andy Frederick of Brooklyn is accused of stabbing Felix McCord, 28, during a scuffle on a subway platform. McCord and Ali Peterkin Jr., 24, were buying candy from a vendor and “decided to steal some . . . in addition to what they had bought,” a police spokesman said. As they argued with the vendor, Frederick approached and “tried to stop the argument,” the spokesman said. McCord was stabbed in the scuffle.
