Ramon Rivera indicted for stabbing spree that killed three in Manhattan

Ramon Rivera has been indicted for a stabbing spree in Manhattan that left three people dead. The grand jury charged him with first and second degree murder following the attacks on November 18, which prosecutors described as unprovoked. Rivera, 51, allegedly stole knives from a hardware store and used them to stab a construction worker, a fisherman, and a woman in a park. He confessed to the killings during police questioning. Rivera had a history of low-level offenses and was out on bail for recent arrests before the stabbings. His case has raised concerns about the city's handling of individuals with mental health issues.
