Muslim Brunson, an unhinged career criminal, is charged with attempted murder and assault in the random afternoon attack along a trendy street in the famous Manhattan neighborhood.

Police said Brunson, who has several prior arrests and a history of mental health treatment, walked up behind his unsuspecting victim with a broken bottle and slashed her neck — sending her to the intensive care unit at Bellevue Hospital.

Brunson’s rap sheet includes a 2022 attack on a civilian NYPD worker, who was so badly battered that she suffered a broken eye socket and cheekbone. He also had robbed and assaulted a 13-year-old boy in Brooklyn three years earlier.
