He claimed he woke his mother to find out where his passport was, and this developed into an argument as his mother believed he was drunk. Their argument awoke Kuznetsov, who came into the kitchen swearing at Gelman in Russian. Gelman grabbed a knife and stabbed Kuznetsov repeatedly. When the knife broke, Gelman continued the attack with a carving fork, ultimately stabbing Kuznetsov 55 times. His mother was not physically hurt. Gelman then took the vehicle and sped off in it, running over a crossing guard and breaking her leg.〔("Maksim Gelman, accused of killing 4 in stabbing, carjacking spree caught after daylong manhunt" )〕 Gelman later stated that since he knew he would be caught, he was going to take down "rats" who had wronged him.〔 Gelman then went to the house of a female acquaintance named Yelena Bulchenko, where he killed her mother, Anna, at about 10:30 a.m.〔 He then allegedly left the crime scene and waited several hours for Yelena, who had been staying at a friend's house, to return home. Once she did, she found Anna dead and called 9-1-1, but Gelman was on his way back to the scene to check if she returned home. Upon arrival at about 4:00 p.m.,〔 he spotted her outside on the phone and got out the car, to which she yelled at him. He hid the knife in his pocket and approached her, but she took off running. However, Gelman caught up with her and stabbed her eleven times, killing her, before speeding off in Kuznetsov's car. Ramming into another car, Gelman stabbed and wounded the driver, Arthur DiCrescento, three times when he confronted him, before carjacking the vehicle.〔 Gelman later ran down 62-year-old pedestrian Stephen Tanenbaum, who subsequently died of his injuries.〔〔("'You can burn in hell': Boyfriend's anger as Mad Maks killer hurls obscenities about female victim as he is jailed for 200 years" )〕 Afterwards, Gelman abandoned DiCrescento's car just before 1:00 a.m. of February 12〔 and hailed a livery cab before stabbing its driver, Fitz Fullerton. He then approached another car with a couple inside and attacked the driver, Shelden Pottinger, stabbing him multiple times in the hand. He then stole Pottinger's vehicle and drove off in it.〔〔〔 After boarding a northbound 3 train at 34th Street - Penn Station just after 8:00 a.m., he stabbed Joseph Lozito, a ticket seller at Lincoln Center.〔("Years of Watching MMA Helped Heroic Joe Lozito Help End Murder Manhunt" ) MMAfighting.com〕 By this time, passengers recognized him from a newspaper article about his killing spree and notified authorities.〔 According to some reports,〔 Gelman started banging on the door of a motorman's cab, demanding to be let in, at which point two police officers assigned to the manhunt arrived and subdued him after a struggle with Lozito's help. However, other accounts〔 stated that Lozito engaged in a physical confrontation that subdued Gelman, while officers Terrance Howell and Tamara Taylor hid in the motorman's cab, and did not come out until Lozito had disarmed Gelman and pinned him on the ground.〔("Man Held After Spree of New York Killings" ) ''Wall Street Journal'', 14 February 2011〕〔("Joseph Lozito Used Martial Arts Tactic He Saw on TV to End Alleged Stabber's Spree" ) ABC News, 14 February 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maksim Gelman stabbing spree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
