“#’A-Train Ripper’ busted in knife attacks on NYC subway homeless<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The \u201cA-train Ripper\u201d is in custody, multiple law enforcement sources told The Post on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The knife-wielding madman was wanted in a gruesome subway spree that left two homeless people dead and two others slashed along the A train line, and was nabbed in Upper Manhattan, the sources said.<\/p>\n

His shoes were still splattered with his victims\u2019 blood when he was taken into custody \u2014 and he was still in possession of the bloody knife, one source added.<\/p>\n

The yet-named suspect was in custody at the 34th Precinct in Washington Heights, the sources said.<\/p>\n

The bloodshed sparked an outcry for safer subways, and NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea responded, announcing a \u201csurge\u201d of 500 additional cops for the department\u2019s Transit Bureau to be deployed across the city immedia<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n

The spree began Friday morning, not far from where the alleged stabber was caught, authorities said.<\/p>\n

At 11:30 a.m., a 67-year-old man was stabbed as he pushed his walker along the southbound platform at the A train\u2019s 181st Street station in Washington Heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to kill you!\u201d he told cops his attacker screamed, according to sources. He was stabbed in the right knee and left buttocks; while he required surgery, he is expected to survive the attack.<\/p>\n

That attack is preliminarily believed to be connected to three subsequent attacks.<\/p>\n

Twelve hours later, at 11:29 p.m. Friday, a man was found stabbed to death but still slumped in his seat on an A train at Mott Avenue station in Far Rockaway.<\/p>\n

He suffered stab wounds to his neck and torso, and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Some two hours after that, at 1:15 a.m. Saturday, a 44-year-old woman was found sprawled dead, again in a pool of blood, under her subway seat inside an A train at the 207th Street station in Inwood.<\/p>\n

She had been stabbed throughout her body.<\/p>\n

Afterward, at 1:28 a.m. Saturday, a 43-year-old man was randomly stabbed as he slept on a stairwell at the A train station at West 181st Street.<\/p>\n

He stumbled to a nearby bank on West 181st Street, but collapsed before entering the vestibule, cops said.<\/p>\n

The victim is being treated at an area hospital for four puncture wounds to his back, and is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old woman was taken to New York Presbyterian-Allen Hospital, where she was declared dead, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

It is the worst subway stabbing spree since June of 2006, when a homeless serial slasher injured four people on a 13-hour rampage on trains in Harlem and Rockefeller Center. His victims all survived.<\/p>\n

And it is the worst mass-violence against the homeless since 2019, when four homeless men were bludgeoned to death in their sleep one night in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown.<\/p>\n

Mayor de Blasio recently waved off NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea\u2019s public concerns of a recent spate of subway attacks, which included a straphanger shoved onto the tracks.<\/p>\n
