In another frenzied attack in the subway, a woman was stabbed by a maniac at Grand Central Terminal on Christmas Eve and the victim said no one helped her when the attacker plunged the knife into her throat. 26-year-old Imani-Ciara Pizzaro was face-timing when she was attacked by the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Brooklyn native Jason Sargeant. “What’s your problem?” the attacker said as he cut her throat with a small knife before kicking his phone away.
‘I ran for help, there was no police’
The victim said her fellow passengers just froze after the attack and police were seen nowhere in sight. “I wish there were cops in Grand Central when I was attacked, there were none. I was running for help and there was no one there. There are usually cops in four different spots and I ran to each one of them but none were there,” the victim said to New York Post.
No one called 911, the woman revealed adding that it was her neighbor with whom she was Facetiming when the attack took place who called 911.
A 42-year-old man was slashed in the wrist and the attacker then ran further into Grand Central towards the central ticket booth yelling “I hate all of you”.
Pizarro recounted her harrowing experience of finding no help in the station and then getting out of the station and reaching the Roosevelt Hotel where she was treated.
After Pizzaro was stabbed, witnesses pointed out Sargeant to MTA police within the station. He was arrested and the weapon was recovered. Sargeant has three prior arrests for criminal mischief, fare beating, and assaulting a police officer, NYP reported.
The incident comes less than a week after a woman was set on fire on a late-night F-train in Conet Island which was the ninth killing on the metro system this year.
