Police have made an arrest in the fatal stabbing of an IHOP employee on Friday.

Wilber Salazar Rios, of Hempstead, Long Island, is a former employee of the restaurant located on Flatlands Avenue, according to sources.

The 44-year-old is accused of stabbing 67-year-old Hector Reinoso-Perez, a current employee, in the torso.

Rios also slashed a 41-year-old man in the hand. Sources say the man slashed was also an employee.

Sources say Reinoso-Perez went to the back of the restaurant and was followed by Rios, when they got into a dispute and then Rios allegedly stabbed him. They say another employee went to check on Reinoso-Perez and Rios slashed that employee in the hand before running away.

The IHOP is back open after being briefly closed this weekend following the incident. News 12 spoke with customers like Naquan who was shocked to hear the details.

“Honestly, that’s messed up. I feel like people need to come together. He was at work, you know, killing somebody at work while trying to feed their family,” said Naquan.

Reinoso-Perez was taken to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center but did not survive.

Rios is facing charges of murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
