Six people have been arrested and now face gang assault charges in connection to a stabbing this week following a charter school graduation at Hofstra University on New York’s Long Island. 

The Nassau County Police Department says Isaiah Moore, 19, Devon Moore, 19, Taiwan Jackson, 23, Unique Pruitt, 21, Devon Fenner, 18, and Zachariah Fulton, 19, all from Hempstead, New York, have been taken into custody in the wake of Wednesday’s incident right after the Uniondale Charter School ceremony. 

"According to Detectives, Third Precinct officers responded to 1000 Hempstead Turnpike for an Assault," police said in a statement. "Upon arrival, it was determined that two male victims were involved in an altercation. The altercation escalated and resulted in one victim being slashed on the back of his left thigh and one victim was slashed on his right ear." 

FOX 5 New York reported that a source confirmed the attack, which involved masked suspects, was targeted.
