A “homelessness maniac” was apprehended following a violent stabbing spree at Penn Station on Sunday evening, resulting in knife injuries to five innocent bystanders, according to sources cited by The Post.
Hector Deleon, aged 51, initiated the unprovoked assault at approximately 7 p.m. within the New Jersey Transit boarding area, causing the station to echo with the horrifying screams of the victims as panicked commuters fled for safety, sources reported.
Sources told The Post that Deleon is believed to be homeless. He had been previously arrested in New Jersey in May on charges of assault and drug-related offenses, they added. Specifics regarding that arrest were not immediately accessible.
