SUNNYSIDE (Sunday, 10-24-99)--Two Sunnysiders were wounded early today in a knife fight at the Safari Inn at 616 Edison Ave.
 
Sgt. Jim Rivard said investigations revealed Geronimo "Jerry" Perez III, 29, of 322 E. North Ave., apparently stabbed Jose Roman, 33, also of Sunnyside. Reason for the stabbing is not known.

A third person allegedly stabbed Perez on the left side just below the rib cage. Perez also was treated at SCH. Witnesses are mum about who stabbed Perez, so police can't file charges against that person.
