A homeless man has been nabbed for randomly slashing a 30-year-old victim in the neck near the Astor Place Cube, cops said.
Steven Johnson, 35, was cuffed and slapped with attempted murder and assault charges on Saturday in the wake of last week’s bloodied attack, the NYPD said.
The unprovoked ordeal unfolded when Johnson allegedly approached the man from behind at Lafayette Square and Cooper Avenue just before 5.30 pm Thursday.
He is accused of then slashing the victim in the neck with what cops described as an “unknown sharp object.”
