Cops are searching for a 27-year-old man who allegedly slashed three people and set fire to clothing during a violent spree across Brooklyn over two days.
Odyssey Head is wanted for questioning in connection to multiple attacks across the borough, according to a statement released by the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.
The first incident occurred around 5 a.m. on Saturday when Head allegedly entered a residential building at 1353 New York Ave. in East Flatbush. Inside, he allegedly damaged a washer and dryer unit and set fire to clothing before fleeing. No injuries were reported from this incident, police said.
According to police, Head allegedly slashed a 37-year-old man in the neck at around 6:30 a.m. as the victim waited on the platform inside the Church Avenue subway station. EMS transported the victim in stable condition to Kings County Hospital.
Later the same day, at approximately 9:40 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Foster and New York avenues after a 911 call reported another slashing. There, they found a 53-year-old man with a slash wound to the left side of his face. The victim was taken in stable condition to Kings County Hospital.
At approximately 7 a.m. Sunday morning, police say a 56-year-old man was slashed across the left side of his face outside an apartment building at 3311 Newkirk Ave. This victim was also transported in stable condition to Kings County Hospital.
Police describe the suspect as a male with a medium complexion, slim build and facial hair, with distinctive head and neck tattoos.
He was last seen wearing a black ski cap, tan hooded sweatshirt, black jeans, and multicolored sneakers. He is believed to be armed and dangerous, police said.
The NYPD released photos of the sought individual.
