A man stabbed a woman getting off a bus in Queens in an unprovoked attack.
An emotionally disturbed man followed a woman as she stepped off a Queens bus, stabbing her in an unprovoked attack, police said Thursday.
Edwin Rios, 27, was busted at 12:40 a.m., almost three hours after he allegedly stabbed the 22-year-old victim at 73rd Ave. and Francis Lewis Boulevard, in Fresh Meadows.
Police said the woman got off the Q-46 bus around 10 p.m. Wednesday at Francis Lewis and Union Turnpike.
The suspect, police said, followed her as she walked alongside Cunningham Park, then pounced, stabbing her with a knife twice in the back. She also suffered a cut on her forehead.
Rios fled the scene, but the victim gave police a description of her attacker, who may have hid in the park before police finally found him.
A police source said Rios has a history of psychological problems and that the woman was attacked for no reason.
She was listed Thursday in stable condition at Queens General Hospital.
Since Sandy struck Monday evening there have been only a handful of shootings and a few stabbings and slashings. The only murder this week occurred early Monday when a man was beaten to death by a group of up to five men following a dispute outside a Brooklyn bar.
