The man accused of murdering a beloved father on his way to work<\/a> in the Bronx is undergoing a mental evaluation after being arrested on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Sean Jones, 38, was arrested on Tuesday<\/a>, and charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n

His arraignment is expected later Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jones is accused of killing 53-year-old George Ennin, a father of two, who worked as a security guard.<\/p>\n

Ennin was randomly attacked as he walked to work on Monday afternoon. Surveillance video appears to show the victim dodge a surprise kick from the suspect.<\/p>\n

The victim tried to get away but stumbled and fell — unable to get away from the suspect’s repeated strikes with a knife.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Ennin was wearing his security guard uniform at the time of the attack.<\/p>\n

Neighbors spoke out and said they are heartbroken.<\/p>\n

“This man was one in a million, he was a diamond in the rough,” said the victim’s neighbor Michele King. “He raised two daughters single-handedly.”<\/p>\n

Ennin was a girl dad, and was well-loved and respected for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Police say Jones is a career criminal who has been arrested nearly two dozen times since 2013.<\/p>\n

Authorities do not believe the two men knew each other.<\/p>\n
