Mass Killer Arrested, Confesses to Stabbing Spree in New York


(A mass murder is defined as the killing of three or more people at one time)

Ramon Rivera, a 51-year-old homeless man with a history of eight arrests, launched an unprovoked stabbing spree in New York City on Monday.

Without warning, 2 men were killed on scene and 1 woman was left in critical condition.

She later died in the hospital.

A vigilant cab driver helped police apprehend Rivera.

The attacks began early morning near a construction site on 19th Street.

He later confessed to the crimes.

Fox News reports:

A knife-wielding suspect with multiple past arrests killed two men and critically wounded a woman Monday following the unprovoked attacks in New York City, officials said.

The woman, who was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, was listed in critical condition before succumbing to her injuries, the New York Post reported late Monday.

The alleged attacker, Ramon Rivera, is a 51-year-old homeless man with eight arrests. He was caught when a good Samaritan cab driver alerted authorities, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said.

“Today, we have three innocent New Yorkers, just going about their lives, who were the victim of a terrible, terrible assault,” he said.

Investigators don’t have any other suspects, Mayor Eric Adams said in a news briefing.

The stabbing spree began around 8:20 a.m., when a 36-year-old man was standing in front of a construction site where he was working on 19th Street and was stabbed in the stomach, Kenny said.

The suspect fled, and the victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Around two hours later on 30th Street near the FDR Drive on the East River, a 68-year-old man who was fishing was stabbed multiple times through his body, Kenny said. The victim also died at the same hospital.

A half-hour later, a woman, 36, was stabbed multiple times on East 42nd Street and First Avenue near the United Nations building.

Here’s the attacker:

Not to be confused with another stabbing that occurred in the same area just a few days ago.

The black suspect was actually a model.

Both on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

Sure is a lot of murder going on over there:

Be careful out there.

Stay vigilant.

It hasn’t even been 2 months since this knife wielder was dealt with.

And around the same time this knife attack occurred:
