GRAVESEND — A BROOKLYN MECHANIC was left in critical condition Friday after being stabbed 16 times inside an auto shop on Avenue X, police sources told PIX11. The attacker reportedly entered around 11 a.m., told the victim he was “going to go bankrupt,” and launched into a frenzied assault before barricading himself inside. FDNY responders forced entry to reach the victim, who suffered a collapsed lung and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

The suspect was taken into custody at the scene; charges are pending.
