Sprinting maniac slashes NYC tourist in latest random violence plaguing Big Apple: sources

A deranged nutjob slashed a Danish tourist in the face in an apparently random attack on the Upper West Side Wednesday morning, according to sources.

The screwball was caught on camera dashing after the 55-year-old victim on West 86th Street off Columbus Avenue around 10:40 a.m., before he came up from behind and slashed the man across the left ear and cheek, the sources said.

He then allegedly sprinted off back the way he’d come without a word.
