A TikTok troll was arrested and charged Friday with fatally stabbing a 17-year-old boy, who inadvertently got between the online-provocateur and an angry mob that came to his home to confront him over claims he raped a young child, sources said. Andrew Tollinche, 22, allegedly stabbed high school student Jonathan Melo in the back Wednesday after the teen victim got caught up in the showdown at a Bronx apartment, which was sparked when Tollinche dared people on TikTok to face him down over the sex allegations, law enforcement sources said. During the encounter, Tollinche allegedly grabbed a large kitchen knife from his home and went outside to send the angry people fleeing, but allegedly wound up stabbing Melo amid the chaotic scene, sources said.
