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 â who has a history of being emotionally disturbed â suddenly cut the manâs right ear for no reason, authorities and sources said.
Police searched the area and found the alleged attacker, Joyner Javon, 33, authorities said.
Javon â who has a history as an âemotionally disturbed person,â sources said â 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.
