https://nypost.com/2025/01/05/us-news/madman-accused-of-two-nyc-train-stabbings-is-busted-carrying-large-knife-sources/A subway maniac with 87 prior arrests was just busted for two transit stabbings — carrying the “large knife’’ he allegedly used in the violence, police and sources said Sunday.
Jamar Banks — a 52-year-old with a long rap sheet and history of mental illness — was nabbed by the NYPD Warrant Squad around midnight at the 219th Street station in The Bronx and brought to the NYPD’s Transit Bureau District 2 in Manhattan, police sources said.
He was carrying what had been described by police as a “large knife,” which he allegedly used in last week’s attacks, sources said.
Banks was last busted in November — twice for petty theft — and released with summonses to later appear in court, sources said.
