Two teenage girls were randomly stabbed while enjoying a Christmas morning meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant — with their deranged attacker now facing attempted murder charges, authorities said.
The girls, a 14- and 16-year-old visiting from South America, were attacked at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, WABC-TV reported.
The suspect, 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson, allegedly attacked the tourists after getting into a dispute with restaurant staffers who were trying to kick him out of the eatery, the outlet reported.
“I want all the white people dead,” Hutcherson allegedly yelled, law enforcement sources told The Post. “I want to sit next to the crackers.”
That’s when he allegedly lunged at the unsuspecting teens.
Less than a minute later, the cops arrested a suspect in the attack, who was identified as Hutcherson, MTA police said.
