Two men were stabbed, one fatally, at a Brooklyn street corner early Friday morning, police said.
The pair were at Ridgewood Ave. and Crescent St. in Cypress Hills around 12:15 a.m. when they were attacked, cops said.
One of the victims, 30, was stabbed under the right armpit, and the man he was with, 25, was stabbed in the stomach, police said.
The two victims took themselves to Jamaica Hospital, where the older man died. Police identified him as Joel Joselin Penalo-Paredes, and said he was homeless at the time of his death.

The younger victim, who was treated for a minor injury, has refused to tell police what happened, a police source with knowledge of the case said.
It was only after the two showed up at Jamaica Hospital that police first learned that the attack had taken place near the Cypress Hills intersection under the MTA’s elevated J/Z line.
No arrests have been made.
Cops on Friday were scouring the area looking for surveillance video that could help them figure out what happened and track down the stabber.
