The scissors-wielding madman who stabbed five people in Riverside Park earlier this month — including a toddler and his ballet-dancer dad – wore baby blue pajamas to a brief court appearance Tuesday in Manhattan.
“Not guilty,” Julius James Graham, 43, who is being held without bail, muttered in a barely audible voice at his arraignment on attempted murder and assault charges in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The homeless man slashed two men, two women and an adorable 18-month-old boy before cops and a good Samaritan tackled him to the ground October 1st.
The silent psycho first stabbed a female jogger in the back then turned the broken scissors on a man walking his dog before slashing yet another runner in the neck, according to the criminal complaint.
Dad James Fayette, who heard the third victim scream for help as she bled profusely from her neck, held his terrified son in his arms as he fled north.
The deranged man cornered them near a bench and slashed the crying tot in the arm before thrusting the scissors into Fayette’s chest.
A good Samaritan ended the madness when he wrestled Graham to the ground.
“I was quite terrified of seeing my son stabbed to death. That was my biggest fear,” the former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet told the Post from his hospital bed after the attack.
