A suspect has been arrested in connection with a series of random stabbings that occurred in Queens, reports CBS News.
At least five individuals were injured. An attack occurred on Tuesday and has been going on since January 8th, reports state. Police are investigating a similar crime in Brooklyn where a 28-year-old man was stabbed on a J subway train on Wednesday.
“We have an unidentified individual who’s walking around the street randomly stabbing people with a hunting knife. There’s no connection between individuals, and it seems to be unprovoked,”
NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
On Jan. 8. at 6:20 p.m., a 61-year-old man was stabbed in the lower back at 137th Avenue and 157th Street.
“In this incident, the suspect actually laughed in the victim’s face after he stabbed him,”
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
A 34-year-old woman was stabbed on Tuesday at 158th Street and 134th Avenue. On Wednesday morning, two stabbings occurred near Guy Brewer Boulevard at 134th Avenue. The victims were a 41-year-old man and a 74-year-old man. The final incident happened at Parsons Boulevard and Archer Avenue. The victim and the suspect had an altercation on a bus over a seat. They both got off the bus, and the suspect stabbed the victim.
Fortunately, all the victims are expected to survive.
