Horrifying new video shows the moment a masked maniac randomly stabs a Queens mom of three as she walked to a bus stop — before he calmly walks away.
The early-morning video from Monday’s vicious attack shows the creep following closely behind Lisette Ramales, 29, as she crosses the road — with a knife in his right hand.
The young stranger — his maskless face pictured in just-released footage from the NYPD — said nothing before he allegedly stabbed Ramales steps from the bus top at 23rd Avenue and 94th Street in East Elmhurst and then wandered off.

Ramales, who told The Post she was stabbed four times, suffered injuries to her back and broken ribs in the attack at 6:20 a.m.
The video, however, appears to show the suspect knifing her more than that.
“I was waiting for the light to turn to walk. [While] I was waiting, all of a sudden, the guy slashed me twice,” she said from her hospital bed.

Ramales said the suspect didn’t say a word to her or attempt to rob her after the stabbing. Obtained by the NY Post“I yelled, and he looked like he turned around to go. And then just because I yelled, he did it again,” Ramales added.
She said the terrifying attack was unprovoked.
“That’s the weird part. He didn’t say anything. He didn’t take anything, my belongings — nothing,” she added.
The NYPD has also released footage of a man they want to speak to in connection with the attack. dcpiThe video also shows the suspect, dressed in dark clothing, trailing the unassuming victim before she crosses the street.
Police say they recovered a knife at the scene but are still hunting for the suspect, who fled eastbound on 23rd Avenue.
The attack took place in the 115th Precinct in north Queens, once one of the safest neighborhoods in New York, which saw a staggering 62% surge in murders in 2025.
It comes days after another violent knife attack in Queens, when a disturbed Astoria man allegedly fatally stabbed his elderly neighbor with whom he had become “mentally obsessed,” according to friends.
Dimitrios Manessis, 48, allegedly slashed 75-year-old retired teacher George Dourdounas in their building lobby — after a years-long personal vendetta against the neighbor.
