"These are senseless acts on defenseless people experiencing homelessness. And somebody knows this person," NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters on Tuesday. "We need to get this killer off our streets as quickly and as safely as possible."
In the first incident, which occurred at 3:10 a.m. on July 5, the 34-year-old victim was sleeping on a bench in the area of West Street and Christopher Street in the West Village when he "awoke to pain in his stomach," NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig told reporters.
