Jersey City, New Jersey: A man who fatally stabbed another during an apparent dispute over feeding pigeons in a new Jersey park has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

###

Charles Lowy learned his fate Friday. The 69-year-old Jersey City man had been convicted in July of reckless manslaughter in the April 2018 slaying of 77-year-old retired teacher Anthony Bello.

###

Authorities believe the stabbing occurred while the two men argued over Lowy’s habit of feeding pigeons in Pershing Field park in Jersey City.

###

Police responding to a call found Bello unresponsive and bleeding from the torso. He later died at a hospital.

###

Lowy’s attorney said at trial that Bello was the aggressor and that Lowy stabbed him in self-defense.
