Authorities say four people have been slashed or stabbed on a Manhattan bike path next to the Hudson River.
A man wielding scissors stabbed and slashed a 2-year-old boy, his father and two other women in a random attack along a popular running and biking path near Riverside Park on the Upper West Side Tuesday morning.
One of the women, 36, was stabbed in the chest and is in critical condition, law enforcement officials said. A 32-year-old woman was injured in the neck and the 35-year-old father of the boy was slashed on the chest. The toddler also had a slash wound.
Police have a 43-year-old suspect in custody who is described as a man who appears to be homeless and suffering from psychological problems.
He allegedly began the bloody assault at around 8 a.m. at 64th Street and continued slashing and stabbing people for three blocks, ending at 61st Street, according to law enforcement officials.

Are they going to ban sissors?
No. But regrettably, they’re not even going to ban the homeless mentally ill from freely roaming the streets.
Only assault scissors

The mentally I’ll according to the law can refuse medication-people were thrown down the subway by people who were supposed to be on medication. Hashem Yishmor
