1 day agoMan appears in court over attempted murders of three people in London knife attacks
Essa Suleiman, 45, faces attempted murder charges for stabbing three men in two separate knife attacks in London.
Odyssey Head, 27, is also now charged with a fourth slashing. He was caught shoplifting a pair of shoes from the Flatbush Burlington Coat Factory on Tilden Ave. at about 12:50 p.m. on Sept. 14, police say. A store worker made him give the shoes back, and Head angrily slashed an 80-year-old customer in the back of his head as he stormed out of the store, according to cops.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, 27-year-old Odyssey Head is wanted by police for running amok through the borough. The first incident occurred when Head allegedly entered a residential building located at 1353 New York Ave. in East Flatbush around 5 a.m. on Oct. 25. Once inside, he allegedly damaged a washer and dryer unit and set fire to clothing. He then fled the building. No injuries were reported.
