The suspected attacker, Cyril Destin, 62, has been arrested 14 times in the past 20 years, largely for criminal mischief and trespassing — including four arrests since 2019, police sources told The Post.
Two women can be seen walking toward him when he suddenly jumps up from his seat and reveals a large knife.
Footage shows the suspect shuffling forward and stabbing one of the women across the chest.
Three women can then be seen backing away from the man, who returns to his seat outside the storefront with the knife on display on his lap.
Jamal Mubare, 56, who has owned Port of Gourmet Deli since 1994, told The Post the suspect lives across the street at a homeless shelter and would regularly come into his store to buy Newport 100 cigarettes.
“I know this guy one year. He don’t look like he’s dangerous. I think he just didn’t take his medication or something,” Mubare told The Post. “Everyone over there in the homeless shelter across the street is crazy. They all take medications.”
“He calls me Bobby. He comes in here and buys cigarettes, Newport 100s. Yesterday he came in and bought a pack of Newport 100s and he paid with a $20 bill. Usually pays with a $20 bill. He comes in and he buys cigarettes and he goes outside and sits in his walker. He has one of those chairs that’s a walker with the wheels,” Mubare said.
