The maniac charged with slashing a Queens straphanger\u2019s throat <\/a>in a horrific random subway attack claimed he couldn\u2019t remember pulling off the grisly crime, prosecutors revealed in court Thursday.<\/p>\n

Luis Pallchisaca, 21, allegedly admitted to cops that he was the grinning fiend caught on surveillance footage of the brutal Sunday night attack<\/a> \u2014 but said he wasn\u2019t \u201csure\u201d that he\u2019d stabbed 25-year-old restaurant worker Robert Gaspar.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that\u2019s me [in] the picture,\u201d Pallchisaca told police, Assistant District Attorney Samuel Pellegrino said at the accused slasher\u2019s arraignment in Queens Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was wearing that shirt as of yesterday or the day before yesterday,\u201d Pallchisaca allegedly said. \u201dI remember but I don\u2019t think I stabbed him. I just scared him and left.\u00a0I scared someone who was next to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I stabbed him,\u201d he continued. \u201cI thought.\u00a0I already said I scared him with a knife but I\u2019m not sure I stabbed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

But prosecutors said footage proved Pallchisaca, of Richmond Hill, walked up to the victim inside a 7 train, slashed his throat and then stabbed him in the back multiple times without saying a word.<\/p>\n

The accused attacker was already inside the train when Gaspar, who was returning home from work, got on at the Mets-Willets Point station around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The victim was hospitalized in critical condition with a breathing tube, his pal told The Post this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pallchisaca, who already had two open cases for assault and theft, ran off after the slashing, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

But an eagle-eyed NYPD cop recognized him as the suspect in one of the earlier crimes and he was arrested at his home, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant has picked up three arrests in the last 30-something odd days, including for false impersonation and attempted assault in the second degree, in addition to this current arrest,\u201d Pellegrino told Judge Lana Schlessinger in court. <\/p>\n

The prosecutor said Gaspar \u201cis not able to speak\u201d as a result of his wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter his surgery he can only write or nod \u00a0at this point in time,\u201d Pellegrino said.<\/p>\n

He asked that Pallchisaca be held without bail, while his defense lawyer asked for $100,000 bail.<\/p>\n

Schlessinger instead set bail at $500,000 in cash on the charges, including attempted murder, assault and weapon possession.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs alleged, the defendant mercilessly stabbed the victim in an unprovoked attack and caused life-threatening injuries,\u201d Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur subway system is not a battle ground; it is a lifeline for many. My office will use all tools at our disposal to prosecute those who undermine the sense of safety for millions of straphangers in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The maniac charged with slashing a Queens straphanger\u2019s throat in a horrific random subway attack claimed he couldn\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":254442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,12937,4219,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,4413,8626,82992,28715,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-254441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-assaults","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-metro","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-queens","19":"tag-stabbings","20":"tag-subway-slashings","21":"tag-subways","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-united-states-of-america","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-us-news","28":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115266847196125707","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
