A knife-wielding man stabbed a man indiscriminately in Manhattan on Monday morning, killing two men and seriously injuring a woman, police and sources said.
Police say the sickening incident began around 8:20 a.m. when the 51-year-old killer approached a 30-year-old man on West 19th Street near 8th Avenue and stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife. It has begun.
Police said the victim, identified by sources as a construction worker, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died.
Police and sources say the violent menace moved to East 30th Street near FDR Drive, where he stabbed a man in his 60s multiple times with a knife.
Officials said the man was also taken to the same hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Then, just before 11 a.m., a thug stabbed a woman in the chest at East 42nd Street and First Avenue, police and sources said.
She was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition.
Sources said each stabbing was random and that the attackers began arguing with each victim.
Sources said the suspect, a resident of the Bellevue Men's Shelter, was taken into custody at East 46th Street and First Avenue. Charges were pending.
