2 people killed in New York City stabbing spree at 3 different Manhattan locations

A lone, knife-wielding assailant killed two men and critically wounded a woman during an hourslong stabbing spree Monday morning through the streets of New York City, authorities said.

The two slain men — attacked near 444 W. 19th St. at 8:22 a.m. ET and then by 500 E. 30th St. at 10:27 a.m. — were taken to Bellevue Hospital before they were pronounced dead, officials said.

Then a woman was stabbed in the shadow of the United Nations, near East 42nd Street and First Avenue at 10:55 a.m., leaving her in critical condition.

A “person of interest” was captured a short time later at 46th Street and First Avenue, said police, who are not searching for anyone else in connection to these stabbings.
