Queens Stabbing Spree Suspect Pleads Not Guilty

Jermain Rigueur, a hospital greeter with no prior convictions, faces multiple charges including attempted murder.

Jermain Rigueur, a 27-year-old New York man, has pleaded not guilty to a 19-count complaint including attempted murder and assault charges in relation to a series of stabbings in Queens.
Rigueur, who has no prior criminal convictions and works as a hospital greeter, was arrested and arraigned last week.
The stabbings occurred over a nine-day period, with victims including a 61-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman.
Upon Rigueur's arrest, police found a 6-inch Bowie knife and a blood-stained sweatshirt in his backpack.
Rigueur's attorney maintains the charges are baseless and plans to defend him vigorously in court.
