Suspect in custody after 'unprovoked' New York City stabbing spree leaves 3 people dead: police

A knife-wielding suspect with multiple past arrests killed two men and critically wounded a woman Monday following the unprovoked attacks in New York City, officials said.

The woman, who was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, was listed in critical condition before succumbing to her injuries, the New York Post reported late Monday.

The alleged attacker, Ramon Rivera, is a 51-year-old homeless man with eight arrests. He was caught when a good Samaritan cab driver alerted authorities, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said.
