Tweet
A man wielding a knife and wearing a bloody eye patch repeatedly stabbed a homeless man in the neck Monday on an East Harlem street as cops drew their guns and kids watched in horror.
The violent lunchtime knifing on Lexington Ave. and E. 103rd St. was captured on a witness’ iPhone video camera and shows the incredible restraint cops took not blow the armed suspect away.
“He just literally pulls out a pocket knife and starts stabbing the man in the neck like a couple of times,” said a 33-year-old East Harlem man who witness the bloody attack.
About a dozen cops from the nearby 23rd Precinct stationhouse rushed to the scene, drawing their weapons and order the suspect to drop his knife even as he continued to stab the victim.
Four or five toddlers with their nannies were among the more than 20 people to witness the bloodshed in front of a synagogue and steps from two public schools and a day care center.
Police had no immediate comment on the attack. The names of the victim and suspects were not released.
