NYC nut randomly slashes man, 62, with boxcutter in broad daylight attack

An unhinged attacker randomly slashed a 62-year-old man with a boxcutter as he crossed a Bronx street in broad daylight Sunday, cops and sources said.

The victim was waiting for the light to change on Hugh Grant Circle near Metropolitan Avenue in Parkchester around 2:20 p.m. when the menace — who has a history of being emotionally disturbed — suddenly cut the man's right ear for no reason, authorities and sources said.

Police searched the area and found the alleged attacker, Joyner Javon, 33, authorities said.

Javon – who has a history as an "emotionally disturbed person," sources said – was charged with assault, according to cops.

A gray boxcutter blade was recovered from the scene, police said.

The victim was treated by EMS at the 43rd Precinct station house, cops said.
