A woman has been arrested and charged in connection with the deadly stabbing of a 36-year-old man in East Flatbush Saturday morning, according to the NYPD.

The victim has been identified as Pedersin Pelissier of Brooklyn.

Police say Jennifer Ayala, 36, was arrested around 1 a.m. Sunday morning and charged with manslaughter, two counts of assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

The stabbing happened shortly after 7 a.m. inside 333 Linden Blvd.

When officers arrived, they found Pelissier with multiple stab wounds to his torso.

He was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Sources close to the investigation previously told News 12 that the stabbing appeared to be domestic in nature.

Ayala had initially been taken into custody as a person of interest before her arrest was announced early Sunday.

The investigation remains ongoing.
