NEW YORK, NY – A man known as the “mental guy” has been taken into custody after he hacked a neighbor to death with a machete during an unprovoked attack, chopping the poor woman’s hand off in the process.
Police say 59-year-old Carmen Torres-Gonzalez was outside of an apartment in the Mott Haven Houses, talking to her elderly mother’s home health-care aide, when 25-year-old Angel Feliz-Volquez emerged from his apartment and attacked.
Using a machete, Feliz-Volquez hacked at Torres-Gonzalez as she screamed in horror. In an attempt to defend herself from the machete’s blade, the poor woman’s right hand was chopped off and her left hand was partially severed. She had also suffered wounds to her throat, cheek and shoulder.
“It looked like somebody just took a couple of buckets of red paint and poured it down the stairs,” said a neighbor who described the aftermath as a scene from The Shining. “We have never seen so much blood.”
When he was done, Torres-Gonzalez lay dead in a pool of her own blood and Feliz-Volquez, who some neighbors describe as “the mental guy”, went back inside his apartment. That’s where police would take him into custody a short time later. He is facing charges of murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
