Knife-wielding maniac with 87 priors on the loose in NYC after two subway stabbings, cops say
New York Post ^ | January 4, 2025 | Tina Moore

A knife-wielding maniac with a history of mental illness and 53 prior arrests is wanted in connection with at least two stabbings in the subway this week, The Post has learned.

Cops searching for Jamar Banks were warned to use “extreme caution” when encountering him because he is believed to be armed with “a large knife,” according to a message sent to police officers and obtained by The Post.

Banks, 52, is known to frequent the No. 2 and No. 5 subway lines, authorities said in the message.

He’s being sought in connection with stabbings on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, according to the NYPD.

Stabby new year, Kathy Hochul, who declared the subway safe :(

If we had a media who did their jobs, they'd be pounding on the door of New York governor Kathy Hochul to ask her if she still thinks the subway is safe for New Yorkers to ride. Because 2024 ended terribly with a woman set on fire and a guy pushed in front of a moving subway, and 2025 is off to a bloody, violent start.

Jamar is a common name among the Amish.

Remember that the no-account Democrat whore Hochul thought it was “OK” to target President Trump with the phony “legal system” in her garbage state...

This past Thursday, a U.S. Postal carrier was gutted at a Harlem Deli by an alleged female perp. They'd gotten into an argument over their spot in the serving line. The mailman died at the hospital. Stabber had at least five previous arrests. I question the actual sex of this person, along with the question, could a female have enough upper arm strength to gut a man?

Woman accused of stabbing postal worker over spot in NYC deli line has history of knife violence

Probably does a lot of whittling. Naturally he carries a knife.

A person with mental illness and 87 (or 53) offenses, some of them similar to what he is wanted for now, would surely be seen as a repeat offender and a menace to society by any society run by normally moral and sane people. But that is just my way of thinking, Maybe I am missing something, I don’t notice any jail time mentioned, but it is comforting to know the the criminal justice system keeps track of his known whereabouts and activities.

My guess is that once he kills someone, the authorities will act. Or maybe not.

Hochul didn’t mean the subways are safe, she just meant the subways are safe whenever she and her bodyguard squad are around.
