Two more arrested in assault at Atlantic City's Showboat

Two more men have been charged in an attack at Atlantic City's Showboat that led to a Bronx man being stabbed.

Police were called to the Showboat in the 800 block of the Boardwalk at about 9 p.m. Wednesday, and found the 25-year-old victim bleeding heavily from a stab wound, Capt. Kevin Fair said.

The victim also was kicked and punched by a group of men, according to the report.

Marquise Cottman, 20, of Millville, was arrested several hours later and released on a summons for aggravated assault. He also was found to have a warrant out of his hometown.

On Thursday, Detective Lisa Kaplin-Caldwell's investigation led to charges against Julius Reed for stabbing the victim.

Just before 11 p.m. Thursday, Showboat security notified police that Reed and a second suspect has come onto the property, Fair said Friday.

While Officers William Harned and Julian Monsalve were en route, they got information that Reed and the other man, Tyreke Allen-Whittaker, had left.  

The officers found the men at Delaware and Atlantic avenues, and they were taken into custody without incident. 

Reed, 19, of Atlantic City, was charged with stabbing the victim. He faces aggravated assault and weapons offenses, and is jailed.

Allen-Whittaker, 18, of Bridgeton, is accused of punching the victim. He was released on a summons.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Atlantic City Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit at 609-347-5766. Information may also be submitted anonymously to tip411 (847411), beginning the text with ACPD.
