NYC man allegedly told his 3 kids to "keep your seat belt on" before running over wife with SUV and stabbing her

A New York City man accused by police of striking his estranged wife with an SUV and then stabbing her as their three children watched was charged Wednesday with attempted murder and other crimes.

Stephen Giraldo, 36, also was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and child endangerment in the incidents early Tuesday morning, according to Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.

"The brutality of the attack, and the fact that it was committed in full view of the victim's three young children, stirs heartbreak and outrage in all of us," Katz said in a statement.
