The knife-wielding madman accused of slashing five people at random in one of New York City's busiest transit hubs has been identified.
Hector Deleon, 51, has been identified as the alleged homeless man who attacked five people at the notorious Penn Station at around 7pm on Sunday.
The suspect was tackled to the ground in the minutes following the Sunday stabbing spree. Deleon was hospitalized on Monday, and has yet to be charged, according to The New York Post.

I would not take public transit in New York unless I was carrying
and if you’re carrying they will arrest you...especially if you use it for defense.
I knew the crazed hobo was part of the protected class, a mexican hobo, I wonder if he’s illegal
The better question right now, is Hector de Leon an illegal immigrant?
New York State consistently refuses to charge these repeat violent offenders under New York State’s “Three Strikes” Law (Persistent Felony Offender Law).
Wow, an “alleged homeless man”. They’re getting a bit sensitive, yes no maybe perhaps?
I wonder why there is No Mug shot of this “person” available. Mamdani “HOPES” the victims recover.
I guess I should have used Google to search instead of Bing. My mistake.
Read the article. There’s a picture of perp.
St. George Floyd, the gift that keeps on giving. Wasn’t he an inspiration for no cash bail?
It might be interesting to survey the victims. How they have voted and has this incident changed their point of view on things. The old line of a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.
Highly likely.
The author of the article uses the term "deranged" because officials can't have people realize that this is consistent behavior for these perps. It's just who they are and the power brokers don't differentiate between "regular" people and "deranged" people.
Stabber or victim, they're both part of the same Great Unwashed to the power brokers.
If Daniel Penny is any example, pity the fool that would have tried stopping him in his attempt to kill commuters. If he survived the attacker, he would not survive DA Bragg indicting him for injuring him in his attempt to stop him
We need to demand from our politicians a bill that holds judges accountable for these types of irresponsible rulings. We PAY judges to keep dangerous people off our streets. If they’re not willing to do that, and more people become victims unnecessarily, they are complicit and should be held accountable.
