A homeless man killed two people and critically wounded another one in a series of random stabbings in Manhattan, said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The 51-year-old man, who had been arrested eight times before, was arrested shortly after his attack on the third victim, Xinhua news agency reported.

Investigation is going on and law enforcement departments in New York City are not looking for any additional suspects at this time, according to Adams.

"It is a clear, clear example of the criminal justice system, mental health system that continues to fail New Yorkers," Adams said.

As investigations are underway, further details are awaited.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
