Two brutes were busted Tuesday in the deadly baseball bat beating and stabbing of a Rhode Island man near Times Square, cops said.
Paul Ohore, 32, and Alagie Jatta, 29, both of The Bronx, were picked up on warrants around 6:50 a.m. and charged with murder in the brutal Nov. 24 attack on Daevon Silva, 23, authorities said.
Silva, of Pawtucket, was bashed with the bat and then stabbed in the back and right thigh just after 1 a.m. near West 49th Street and Seventh Avenue in what sources said at the time may have been a drug-related attack.
He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
At least one of the suspects knew Silva and got into a dust-up with him that escalated into deadly violence, the sources had said.
Jatta has five previous arrests, the most recent in November 2023 for gun possession, cops said.
He was also nabbed in February 2022 for allegedly stabbing and wounding a 55-year-old man in the Bronx, according to the NYPD.
Ohore was last busted in 2019 for driving with suspended registration, and has two other prior arrests for gun possession, police said.
Silva had no run-ins with the law in the Big Apple, but had a light criminal history in Rhode Island, according to the sources.
