Cops: Son Who Attacked Farmingdale Dad Apprehended

Nassau Police have charged a Farmingdale man with attempted murder in connection with a brutal attack on his father that took place on Aug. 30.

Detectives took Eric Georgoulakos into custody Saturday morning while he was appearing in Queens County Court on an unrelated charge.

The arrest stems from a domestic argument that turned violent on Aug. 30 when police were called to a Grant Street home. There, a 53 year old father had been stabbed with a knife and had staggered into the street. 

The victim's 23 year old son, Eric Georgoulakos, of the same Grant Street address, fled the scene and a manhunt was launched in the vicinity. 

Police learned later that Georgoulakos went to a neighboring Washington Street home and asked the residents if he could use the bathroom and the phone. After being admitted in the house, Georgoulakos took the keys to a tan 2004 Chevrolet Trail Blazer and fled the home, stealing that vehicle.

Georgoulakos was charged Saturday with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, felonies.

He will be arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Sunday.
