Teens Stabbed by Maniac at Grand Central Terminal Who Shouted ‘I Want All the White People Dead’ on Christmas

36-year-old suspect Steven Hutcherson has a long list of prior arrests, but Democrat DA refuses to keep him behind bars.

An unhinged man stabbed two teen girls at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant on Christmas Day, shouting that he wanted “all white people dead.”

The incident unfolded Monday as the two girls from South America were enjoying a Christmas meal with their parents, when black 36-year-old suspect Steven Hutcherson reportedly yelled, “I want all white people dead,” and, “I want to sit next to the crackers.”

The New York Post reported on the stabbing and the circumstances that led up to the incident:

He then allegedly lunged at the unsuspecting teens, plunging a knife into the 16-year-old’s back, nicking her lungs, and stabbing the younger girl in the thigh, police and a law enforcement source said.

Hutcherson — who cops and sources said has a slew of prior arrests and a history of mental health issues — had allegedly popped up at the restaurant and said he wanted a table but wasn’t going to order anything, staffers told The Post.

When he was still refused, he allegedly became irate and pointed to the victims’ family, arguing that they weren’t eating anything at the time — then went off, grabbed a knife and attacked the girls, the staffers said.

Nearby transit police officers rushed over in less than a minute and Hutcherson dropped the knife as soon as they arrived, the MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority] said.

The stabbing caused chaos inside the terminal with one MTA employee describing, “Everyone was just running.”

The man was arrested and charged with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.

The two girls who were visiting with their family from Paraguay were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Many online wondered if Hutcherson would be charged with a hate crime.

Has Steven Hutcherson, the 36-year-old black man who screeched “I want all the white people dead” and “I want to sit next to the crackers” prior to stabbing two white teenage girls on Christmas Day been charged with a hate crime yet? https://t.co/EwNxAPgF4T pic.twitter.com/n8yhahOdwf

As it turns out, Hutcherson is a recidivist who has a long list of prior arrests.

He was last arrested on Nov. 7 when he threatened to shoot a man in the Bronx, saying, “I’m gonna shoot you. I don’t care what kind of green card the government gave you,” and, “Open your mouth and say something. I will shoot you right now.”

Despite being charged with criminal possession of a weapon, menacing, harassment and assault, Hutcherson pled guilty to lesser crimes and was granted a conditional discharge, serving no jail time.

The victim in that case, Yussif Abdullahi, criticized the Democrat District Attorney’s office for letting Hutcherson off easy.

“They shouldn’t have let him out [of jail]. I don’t believe it,” Abdullahi told The Post.

An anonymous law enforcement source also said the two teen girls’ stabbings could have been prevented if Hutcherson had been kept in jail.

“DAs are chopping all the charges down. Judges are letting him go,” the source said, adding, “Now we’ve got two teenagers who were stabbed.”

The New York Post has more on Hutcherson’s long list of crimes just this year:

Hutcherson has 17 prior arrests on his rap sheet, sources said. He also has been classified as an “emotionally disturbed person” in prior brushes with police, according to the law enforcement sources.

[…]

Hutcherson’s arrest last month followed his Oct. 27 sentencing to 15 days in jail in an earlier case from this summer, also in the Bronx, the DA’s Office said.

It’s not clear how much of the 15 days Hutcherson actually served.

That case stemmed from a July 24 arrest, for which he had been charged with resisting arrest, according to court records.

Police sources said he walked into the 44th Precinct stationhouse acting belligerent and that cops found a dagger and a switchblade when they arrested him after escorting him out.

He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor weapon possession charges.

Hutcherson was also arrested on Oct. 2 and charged with smashing a display case at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan, causing $81,000 in damage, according to a criminal complaint.

Manhattan prosecutors said he was initially ordered held on $3,000 bail in that case and pleaded guilty to second-degree menacing on Oct. 12 for which he was also sentenced to 15 days in jail.

Sources said Hutcherson also had two recent incidents in which police were called over reports of erratic behavior in the Bronx — screaming on a street in Mt. Hope on Nov. 23 and a Sept. 11 dispute at the 176th Street subway station, during which he was stabbed.

Will the DA’s office learn from their mistake and actually incarcerate the repeat offender? Or will he be let off the hook to resume his crime spree?
