Man Stabs Teens At New York Cafe, Shouts ''I Want All White People Dead''

A man stabbed two teenage tourists having a Christmas meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant on Monday, December 25, CBS News reported. The two victims, who are teenage sisters from South America, were enjoying a meal with their parents when one was stabbed in the back and the other in the thigh. The 14 and 16-year-olds suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, police sources said. They were both taken to Bellevue Hospital where they are still recovering.

The attacker was identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson, who allegedly attacked the tourists after getting into an altercation with restaurant workers who were trying to remove him from the establishment. According to the New York Post, Hutcherson yelled, "I want all the white people dead. I want to sit next to the crackers," before attacking the teens.

Chaos soon erupted, with some customers running from the scene of the attack.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) police quickly apprehended Hutcherson, who put the knife down and surrendered. He now faces charges of attempted murder, assault with intent to harm, criminal possession of a weapon with a prior conviction, and child endangerment.
