A lunatic reportedly armed with a box cutter is accused of slashing an 11-year-old girl in the head in a violent spree near a New York City subway station. The NYPD arrested Shaquan Cummings, 30, on Friday afternoon and charged him with assault, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. Cummings is accused of attacking the girl moments after he allegedly punched another 43-year-old woman, according to an NYPD spokesperson.
Video shows the 11-year-old victim on a stretcher being loaded into an EMS vehicle shortly after the assault. Her clothes are stained with blood as she's lifted into the ambulance. NYPD said the suspect, later identified as Cummings, fled after the assault. He was apprehended about a block away near where he allegedly punched the older woman in the face before attacking the girl. The 43-year-old victim refused medical treatment, police said.
The suspect is seen hiding behind police as one man appears to poke him with a cane. 'Back up!' an officer shouts at the crowd. Someone can be heard yelling expletives at the suspect. 'Don't let him go!' another man says as officers work to keep the crowd from delivering vigilante justice. The cops then arrested and charged Cummings, who reportedly has a lengthy rap sheet with more than 20 prior arrests, according to the New York Post.
