Officials said five people were wounded in a stabbing in Manhattan’s Riverside Park Tuesday morning.




A knife-wielding lunatic stabbed one person and slashed four others Tuesday morning in a random rampage through Riverside Park, police said.


The unidentified suspect was arrested following the 7:58 a.m. attack, where the victims included a 2-year-old boy and his dad on a morning stroll through the Manhattan park.

“He was walking through the park and just started going after people,” a police source told the Daily News. The knife was recovered at the scene.


Cops said a Good Samaritan at the bloody scene helped cops take the deranged suspect into custody. The attacks occurred between W. 61st and W. 64th Sts. on Riverside Blvd.


Four of the victims were rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, while the fifth was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital. Police said none of the victims were likely to die.
