The ex-con with an alleged penchant for riding his bike around stabbing random pedestrians has successfully defended himself against the most serious charge of attempted murder in a recent trial, in which he was accused of stabbing 37-year-old Eduarda Olivia in the chest as she walked with her 13-year-old daughter in Long Island City in June 2008.

And when he got out of prison, he allegedly did it again to Olivia, though prosecutors failed to persuade the jury it was attempted murder. more ›
