A chilling video has emerged, depicting a man in a walker lunging at two women near Times Square, stabbing one of them in a seemingly unprovoked attack.
In the heart of Manhattan's bustling Times Square, a disturbing incident unfolded on Saturday evening, leaving one woman injured and a city reeling in disbelief.
Graphic video obtained by the New York Post captured the shocking moment a 62-year-old man, later identified as Cyril Destin, lunged at two women as they walked past a deli on West 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue.
Sitting on his walker and smoking a cigarette, Destin appeared to pull a large kitchen knife from his jacket and charged towards the unsuspecting women. In a swift and unprovoked move, he slashed one of them before returning to his seat and resuming his cigarette.
The victim, a 46-year-old woman, was seen clutching her chest as she stumbled backward. The two women quickly turned around and fled the scene.
According to police sources, Destin has been arrested 24 times over the past 20 years for offenses such as criminal mischief and trespassing. He was apprehended shortly after the incident and taken to Bellevue Hospital.
The injured woman was also transported to Bellevue Hospital, where she was treated for a stab wound to the chest. Her condition has been listed as stable.
The New York City Police Department is actively investigating the bizarre and unprovoked attack. Authorities have not yet disclosed any potential motive behind the stabbing.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the city, raising concerns about public safety and the mental health of individuals on the streets.
Mayor Eric Adams has condemned the attack, calling it "unacceptable and inhumane." He has vowed to increase police presence in the area and provide support for the victim.
Witnesses and bystanders expressed horror and disbelief at the incident. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said one witness. "It was like something out of a nightmare."
The video of the attack has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage and prompting calls for increased vigilance and awareness of potential threats.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The New York City Police Department has emphasized the importance of reporting suspicious or alarming behavior to ensure the safety of the public.
