According to police, Chris -- who in NYC with his team to face play the Knicks Wednesday night -- was arguing with his girlfriend, Katrine Saltara, outside the nightclub at 4am when he accused Shezoy Bleary, 22, of eavesdropping. Chris, 31, then turned his attention to Shezoy and the two men got into a verbal spat and Chris shoved Shezoy; Katrine tried to intervene. That’s when Shezoy pulled out a knife and stabbed Chris in the stomach and slashed Katrine in the breast, buttocks and arm. Shezoy accidentally slashed his friend, Catherine Somani, 23, in her abdomen during the melee. All three victims were rushed to hospitals in the area in stable condition. Chris' driver detained Shezoy until police arrived. He was arrested at the scene and charges are pending.
