The knife-wielding fish market worker arrested for stabbing two brothers accused of attacking employees at a Manhattan shop Tuesday night is not being charged with murder after the death of the younger brother, prosecutors said.

A market worker, 34-year-old Junior Aquino Hernandez, was issued an assault charge at an arraignment Thursday after an initial arrest for the murder of Malik Burrell, the Manhattan Prosecutor's Office said. Hernandez has been accused of delivering the fatal blow to the 25-year-old and several critical stabs to his brother, Robert Burrell.

Chaos broke out at Harlem's Express Fish Market around 9:30 p.m. when Robert Burrell, refusing to pay for his late-night bite, tried to take his shrimp order from the store after arguing with one of the workers, prosecutors said. The worker caught up to Burrell at the market's door and the two briefly struggled, with the latter delivering a punch to the employee's head. Their fight allegedly continued outside for a few moments before Burrell left and the worker returned to the market.Prosecutors said Burrell returned a few minutes later with his younger brother, Malik.
