The man behind a fatal stabbing of a homeless man in New York City last week is suspected to be responsible for two other stabbing incidents involving unhoused people, authorities said.
On 5 July, a 34-year-old unhoused man sleeping on a bench in the Hudson River Greenway Park on the city’s west side was stabbed in the stomach by a man. The victim, who has not been identified, clung to his bleeding wound as he ran through the park searching for help until he later collapsed and died about seven blocks from where the assault took place, an employee for the park told The Daily News.
