A naked man with a 10-inch kitchen knife went on a rampage in a Washington Heights building Tuesday afternoon, stabbing three people, including two senior citizens, police said.
Ignacio Reyes-Collazo, an 81-year-old who lived in the building for decades, was killed in the stabbing spree.
Neighbors described the knife-wielding suspect, Christian Falero, 23, as mentally unstable.
Jackie Rowe-Adams, who lives on the same floor as Falero, said she saw the accused killer on several occasions in the elevator and suspected he was in need of medication for psychological issues.
The unexplained attack unfolded at about 4:10 p.m., when Falero, a resident of the fifth floor, punched a 22-year-old woman in the face.
He then allegedly grabbed the blade and went door-to-door on the building's second floor, slashing elderly residents as they answered his knock.
Shortly after the slashing rampage, police found Falero naked on a nearby street.
Reyes-Collazo was pronounced dead at St. Luke's Hospital with stab wounds to his face and chest.
His 75-year-old wife was also stabbed multiple times. She was taken to Harlem Hospital where she was expected to survive.
Also injured was a 60-year-old woman in critical condition after being stabbed in the eye and an 85-year-old woman in stable condition with multiple slash wounds.
The suspect, Falero, also suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
He was at St. Luke's Hospital undergoing psychological evaluation Tuesday night.
It's not clear if Falero's injuries were self-inflicted.
