Police have arrested and charged a man for allegedly stabbing five people in separate, unprovoked attacks in Queens, officials said.

Jermaine Rigueur, 27, of Rochdale, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault, four counts of criminal possession of a weapon and attempted assault, police said early Thursday.

The first attack happened around 6:20 p.m. on Jan. 8, when the suspect stabbed a 61-year-old man as he was walking near the intersection of 157th Street and 137th Avenue in Rochdale, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news briefing on Wednesday.

The second attack happened in the same neighborhood just after midnight on Tuesday, when the suspect allegedly stabbed a 34-year-old woman in her right side as she was walking home from a bus stop near 158th Street and 134th Avenue, Kenny said.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, and the suspect fled the scene, the NYPD said. Surveillance footage taken from a nearby business showed the suspect holding a hunting knife, according to Kenny.

A day later, Kenny said two separate attacks happened in the same area around the same time. 

A 74-year-old man was walking his wife to work on 134th Avenue, near Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday when the suspect allegedly ran up and stabbed the man in the back.

After that attack, the suspect ran to 161st Street, where he allegedly stabbed a 41-year-old man in the abdomen. The man had just left his home to move his parked car when the attack happened, Kenny said.

Both victims were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where they were expected to survive, he added.

A fifth attack happened at Parsons Boulevard and Archer Avenue in Jamaica about 25 minutes later, when the suspect stabbed a 36-year-old man after he and the man exited an MTA bus, according to Kenny.

The two men had gotten into a verbal dispute over a bus seat prior to the attack, the chief of detectives said. The suspect fled the scene on foot after the attack. 

"Thankfully all of these victims are going to survive their injuries," Kenny said. NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban called the incidents "senseless, unprovoked attacks."

At a news briefing on Thursday, police officials said Rigueur had no criminal record before the stabbings took place.

NYC Health + Hospitals' CEO and president, Dr. Mitchell Katz, said Rigueur worked as a greeter at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn.

Rigueur has been placed on administrative leave, and “as the rest of the legal system process continues, he will undoubtedly, when found guilty, be removed,” Katz said.

Rigueur began working for the hospital in mid-November and was still being observed as part of his orientation period, he added. 

At Thursday's briefing, Kenny said Rigueur has also been linked to a stabbing that happened on a J train in Williamsburg, but he has not yet been charged in connection with that incident.
