Ex-con just out prison goes on Upper East Side meth rampage, attacking at least four strangers

An ex-con just out of prison and high on meth went on an unprovoked assault spree in Manhattan Monday morning, punching out one stranger and bashing a man and woman with a bottle before he was caught after attacking a fourth victim, police said.

A fifth victim who showed up at Metropolitan Hospital with a knife in his back may have been attacked by the same suspect.

The woman, slashed on the head with a broken bottle, was rushed to Harlem Hospital and is expected to recover. The good Samaritan who was bashed with the bottle while trying to help the woman was not badly hurt and was taken to Metropolitan Hospital.

The suspect, high on crystal methamphetamine, struck at three different locations on the Upper East Side and in East Harlem.

The man he knocked out was at the intersection of 96th St. and Second Ave.

The attacker tried to pull the second victim out of the car at E. 99th Street and Second Ave. Police said the good Samaritan was bashed over the head with a bottle when he tried to intervene.

The force of the blow shattered the bottle, and the attacker slashed the woman in the head with the broken bottle before heading downtown.

A police officer who was nearby moved in and arrested the suspect. He has not been charged yet.

Police said it wasn't clear where the man with the knife was attacked.

The suspect, who lives in the Bronx, has 27 arrests on his record, of which nine are sealed and two are voided. Public records show that he was in prison for two years.

He was paroled in July of last year after serving more than five years for selling drugs near a Manhattan school.

He was sentenced to up to three years in prison for a criminal contempt conviction, but was conditionally released on March 14.
