The incident reportedly occurred at around 9:11 a.m. Thursday, at the A&A Italian Deli in Bethpage. 

Officers were initially dispatched to the scene after receiving a call regarding a man standing in the deli's parking lot with blood on his hands and clothing, FOX 5 reported.

During the attack, Dambrosio allegedly stabbed his mother first before turning the knife on his father, according to police. 

Dambrosio was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation, according to FOX 5. 

He had become estranged from his parents after the November incident involving a sibling, FOX 5 reported. 

"They would give you the shirt off their back," Dan Harper, a friend of the victims, told FOX 5. "If you didn't have money for food, they'd say, 'Pay me tomorrow, pay me next week.' I'd walk in sometimes and say, 'Man, I've got no money,' and they'd just wave it off. They made great food and they were just happy-go-lucky people. I can't see this happening. It's awful. It's really heartbreaking."

The Nassau County District Attorney's Office and Dambrosio's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
