Unhinged thief caught torching laundry in bizarre burglary charged as NYC serial slasher: cops
"Then the next morning just before 7 a.m., Head allegedly cut a 56-year-old man on New York Avenue near Newkirk Avenue, causing a similar injury, authorities said. Before the series of slashings, Head allegedly began his criminal spree around 5 a.m. Saturday, cops said. In that incident, he allegedly barged into a residential building on New York Avenue near Avenue D and damaged the plumbing pipe and electrical wires of a basement washing machine, cops and sources said."
"The NYPD also linked Head to a random slashing from around 12:50 p.m. Sept. 14 inside a Burlington Coat Factory on Tilden Avenue near Flatbush Avenue, authorities said. In that attack, he allegedly cut a 30-year-old male customer on the back of the neck with an unknown object, police said. The victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. He lit some clothes of fire in the washer and dryer before fleeing, police said."
Odyssey Head, 27, allegedly carried out a series of unprovoked slashings and other crimes across Brooklyn over more than 24 hours before his arrest Monday. The alleged attacks began early Saturday with a subway slashing and continued with two more facial slashings late Saturday and early Sunday, plus a reported retail slashing on Sept. 14. Head allegedly also forced his way into a residential building, damaged a basement washing machine's plumbing and wiring, and set clothes on fire. Several victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Charges include attempted murder, burglary, arson, assault, menacing, weapon possession, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.
