Three Dead in New York City Stabbing Rampage

A homeless man with a history of mental illness and criminal activity is charged with murder after a stabbing spree across Manhattan.

The attacks occurred over a two-and-a-half-hour period, starting in Chelsea and ending near the United Nations headquarters.
Ramon Rivera, the 51-year-old suspect, targeted victims who were 'alone' and 'distracted', according to his confession.
Rivera has a long criminal history, including eight prior arrests in New York City and recent time served for burglary.
Mayor Eric Adams criticized the criminal justice and mental health systems for failing to prevent the attacks.
All three victims, including a construction worker, a fisherman, and a single mother, died from their injuries.
