A Brooklyn man is dead and another is behind bars after a gruesome attack stemming from a jealousy rage Thursday.
Police said that 47-year-old Dmytro Lapko lost his mind when he spotted his ex-wife with her new boyfriend, identified as 42-year-old Levan Galdava, in a parking lot in Sheepshead at around 9 p.m.
The ex-husband attacked Galdava with a machete, leaving his teeth scattered on the ground before shooting him at least six times, police and witnesses said.
“I heard people screaming. I walked over the window and saw two people arguing, a man and a woman,” a resident said.
“She was holding him back so that he doesn't go past her. He was holding a hatchet in his hand, so it looked like she was holding him back from doing something with the hatchet.”
Galdava was pronounced dead at Coney Island hospital. Lapko remained at the crime scene and confessed to the attack.
