You fucking moron, tourism is this city’s, uh, lifeblood:

Police officers took into custody today a man suspected of stabbing four people in three separate attacks, including a tourist from Houston who was critically injured in what was described as an unprovoked encounter on a C train Tuesday afternoon.

. . .

The man was taken into custody shortly after two women were stabbed outside the W hotel at 47th and Broadway early this morning. The women, described by the police as 22- and 25-year-old visitors from Canada, were reported to be in stable condition at St. Vincent’s Hospital downtown.

The police said the two women left the W about 4 this morning and were approached by a man described as black, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and dressed all in black, the same as the description of the subway assailant. They say there was only a little conversation before he stabbed both women in the back, knocking them to the sidewalk.

A doorman from the hotel had followed the women out the door and the police said he witnessed the attack. He and some taxi drivers watched the attacker cross the street and enter a McDonald’s restaurant. The doorman used his cellphone to call the police, who arrived and took the man into custody.

The police said the suspect also fits the description of the person who attacked a man an hour earlier as he waited for a southbound F train at 50th Street and the Avenue of the Americas, as well as the attack Tuesday on Christopher McCarthy, a 21-year-old tourist who was stabbed while riding a C train on the Upper West Side.

What are you, some disgruntled tourguide? Some vengeful bellhop? Some disturbed pedicab operator? They should lock you up forever, you sick tourist-stabbing fuck!
