(SUFFOLK COUNTY, N.Y.) – Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney today announced that Daniel Tomasky, 42, of Shirley, was indicted for Assault in the First Degree and other related charges, for allegedly stabbing a man at Adventureland Amusement Park in Farmingdale.
“Our community deserves to feel safe in places open to the public, particularly those designed for families,” said District Attorney Tierney. “This indictment represents our commitment to upholding that safety. We will pursue this case diligently, guided by the facts and the law.”
According to the investigation, on July 7, 2024, at approximately 4:45 p.m., members of Tomasky’s family got into an altercation with members of the victim’s family while visiting Adventureland Amusement Park. The victim himself had not been involved in the altercation. Tomasky allegedly pulled a knife from his waistband, charged at the victim, and then stabbed him. The incident took place in front of numerous children. The victim was taken to Nassau University Medical Center where he received surgery for his injuries.
Shortly after the incident, Tomasky allegedly placed the knife used during the attack in a sewer drain near his vehicle. He was then arrested at the scene by Suffolk County Police officers. Law enforcement later recovered a knife from the sewer.
On August 7, 2024, Tomasky was arraigned on the indictment before Supreme Court Justice Anthony J. Senft, Jr., for the following charges:
Justice Senft ordered Tomasky be held on $50,000 cash, $100,000 bond, or $500,000 partially secured bond during the pendency of the case. Tomasky is due back in court on September 3, 2024. He is being represented by Michael Brown, Esq.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Kieran R. Rogers and Jonathan P. Cappiello of the Major Crime Bureau, with investigative assistance from Detective Thomas O’Neill of the Suffolk County Police Department’s First Squad.
