A ticket scalper turned last night's Dolphins-Jets game into a crime scene when he knifed a haggling customer outside Land Shark, according to police.
Most stadiums have StubHub, but at Land Shark, we have StabHub.
The incident unfolded when the scalper, Hamin Basim Ansar, and his customer, John Langset, started arguing over the price of a ticket.
The argument escalated, and the two began exchanging punches, police said. Ansar pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed Langset twice, once in the back of the head and once in the left chest.
Ansar, 51, was arrested at the stadium and was charged with 2nd degree attempted murder. Langset, 24, was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. His injuries are not life-theatening, police said.
