A 9-year-old boy walking to school was stabbed in the neck and head on Staten Island Friday in an unprovoked attack caught on video.
Jermaine Culver, 9, was trudging down Union Ave. near Leyden Ave. as snow fell in Mariners Harbor when he was stabbed three times with an unknown object by a man at 7:55 a.m., cops and relatives said.
The child was walking to school PS 44 in Mariner's Bay, Staten Island when he was attacked. He was just two blocks away from Public School 44, where he is in the fifth grade, according to relatives.
It looks like hes trying to kill that kid, said Luis Padilla, 44, whose surveillance camera caught the stunning attack.
He went straight for the jugular.
The footage reveals the psycho trailed Jermaine down the block before pouncing, grabbing him around the neck with his left hand and stabbing him in the upper shoulder and neck.
Jermaine stumbled a few steps before regaining his footing and sprinting away.

The included video (shot from afar) is chilling, but not graphic. It was such a relief to see him run away at the end - according to family members quoted in other articles, he wasn't even aware that he had been stabbed in the head, just "punched."
I really hope they catch this psychopath SOON. My bet is that he's a transient who was experiencing paranoid delusions. The alternative (someone of sound mind) is even more horrifying to imagine.
