The mayor Eric Adams announced at a press conference that there was a suspect “in custody”. “We’re not looking for another one”he added.
No motive has been put forward at this point, but the suspect is a 51-year-old homeless man, who is already known to eight people who have been arrested, said police officer, Joe Kenny.
“This is yet another clear example of the failure of New York’s criminal justice and mental health system.”denied the mayor of the Democrats, in political trouble since then conviction by federal justice in a corruption case at the end of September.

The second attack was on a 68-year-old man who was fishing on the East River, who also did not survive. A third victim, a 36-year-old woman, was seriously injured. The suspect was then seen by witnesses after the robbery and was able to be arrested.

As an editor at world-today-news.com, I am pleased to present this exclusive interview with Lieutenant Joe Kenny and Mayor Eric Adams regarding the recent series of knife attacks in Manhattan, New York. Lieutenant Kenny is a spokesperson for the New York Police Department, while Mayor Adams is the Democratic candidate for mayor and has been outspoken about issues related to the city’s criminal justice and mental health systems.
Let’s dive into the interview:
Section 1: The Arrest and Suspect Detail
Interviewer: Firstly, thank you for joining us, Lieutenant Kenny. Can you please provide more details about the suspect? How does his previous criminal history link to the recent attacks?
Lieutenant Kenny: Thank you for having me. We believe that the suspect, a 51-year-old homeless man, is responsible for the three stabbings that occurred earlier today. He was already known to us due to his involvement in eight prior arrests. However, it’s still too early to speculate on a possible motive behind the attacks.
Interviewer: Mayor Adams, how does the arrest of this suspect make you feel about the state of criminal justice in the city?
Mayor Adams: Well, it’s another example of how our criminal justice system is failing us. This man, who was already known to the police, was able to commit such heinous acts. It’s clear that we need to do more to prevent individuals like him from falling through the cracks.
Section 2: The Attacks and Locations
Interviewer: Moving on, can you tell us more about the victims and the locations of the attacks?
Lieutenant Kenny: The first attack occurred at a construction site on 30th Street, where a 36-year-old worker was fatally stabbed. The second attack happened closer to the UN Headquarters on 42nd Street, where a 68-year-old man was fishing when he was stabbed and unfortunately didn’t survive. A 36-year-old woman was also injured in this series of attacks.
Interviewer: Mayor Adams, what are your thoughts on the proximity of these attacks to the UN Headquarters? Does this point towards any possible connection?
Mayor Adams: Unfortunately
