A stranger slashed an on-duty Amazon worker — leaving him with a 6-inch gash that required 110 stitches — in an unprovoked Bronx attack late last month, according to cops and a new report.
William Herrera, 23, was walking back to his work van after delivering packages on Valentine Avenue near East 203rd Street in Bedford Park around 3 p.m. Jan. 24 when the menace approached and slashed him without warning, according to the NYPD and a WNBC report .
Surveillance footage obtained by the network shows Herrera standing with his back turned — facing his white van — when a man wearing all black and a ski mask suddenly walks up to him and slices his face.

The worker instinctively runs away to avoid his attacker, the clip shows.
Herrera, a dad of a toddler with another little one on the way, told the network that it seems the suspect simply wanted to do harm — because he didn’t try to rob him, though the opportunity was there.
