Just wanted to share the bad news. The article uses the wrong gendered language, as far as I can tell, to forewarn.

A man was stabbed to death after coming to the aid of three transgender
people in Greenwich Village early Friday morning, police said.
Christian Soto-Ruiz, 19, approached three men dressed in women's clothing on
10th Street at 5 a.m. Friday, police said. A dispute broke out between
Soto-Ruiz and the men, police said.
A 19-year-old man, who police were still trying to identify late Friday and
who is friends with the transgender men, intervened. Soto-Ruiz allegedly
pulled out a kitchen knife, stabbed the man and slashed one of the
transgender men before fleeing.
The three transgender men rushed to the Sixth Precinct station house, where
police drove them around the neighborhood looking for the suspect.
Soto-Ruiz was spotted walking on Gansevorort Street, police said. Officers
arrested him and seized a bloody kitchen knife he was carrying, police said.
Charges were still pending against Soto-Ruiz Friday night.
