Man Arrested in Christmas Eve Stabbing at Manhattan’s Grand Central

The man accused of stabbing two people at Grand Central Terminal on Christmas Eve was hit with a series of charges Wednesday, including assault, police announced.

Jason Sargeant, 28, of Brooklyn, was arrested after the violent spree Tuesday night, in which he allegedly stabbed a 26-year-old woman in the throat and slashed a 42-year-old man in the wrist in separate attacks.

He was charged with assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, harassment and disorderly conduct, cops said.

Sergeant first knifed the man across the left wrist after the two argued on the stairs of the southbound entrance to the station around 10:15 p.m., cops and sources said.

The suspect then ran up some stairs and got into an argument with the woman, Imani-Ciara Pizarro, before punching her in the back of the head and then stabbed her in the neck near a turnstile.

Sargeant fled up an escalator — but witnesses flagged cops who arrested him and recovered the knife.

He has three prior arrests for criminal mischief, fare beating, and assaulting a police officer, sources said.
