Summary
A brutal, two-minute stabbing spree at Penn Station has escalated: Hector Deleon, 51, now faces seven counts of attempted murder after attacking seven people, many critically injured—including one with a brain hemorrhage and another unable to swallow. Prosecutors upgraded charges, Deleon’s lawyers seek a mental competency exam, and he remains jailed without bail. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg calls it a “terrifying attack” during a busy city moment, vowing accountability. Two victims remain unidentified, and Deleon, last arrested in NYC in 2008, surrendered the knife to Amtrak officers before being taken into custody.
