JERSEY CITY (WABC) --
Late Friday night, Jersey City police made it official - announcing the arrest of

this.
"Emotions are high right now that's what matters most is the baby," said Agnant.

Bruno was hiding in his ex-girlfriend's third floor Rutgers Avenue
apartment. She walked in with a female friend, and according to
investigators, Bruno stabbed the friend multiple times. Then police say

rest unto Bruno was in custody. On Friday night he was.
