NEW YORK — The knife-wielding attacker suspected of stabbing three sleeping homeless men in Manhattan, killing one, was arrested Wednesday morning after a passer-by spotted him at a Harlem bus stop, a police source said.
Trevon Murphy, 40, who is homeless himself, started to walk away when police approached — but when they told him to stop he complied and was handcuffed.
A knife was found on Murphy when he was arrested but it was not immediately clear if it was the same knife that was used in the attacks, police sources said.
