The fiend who allegedly stabbed a man in the Yankee Stadium subway station over the weekend was caught on shocking surveillance footage shoving, slashing and robbing an 84-year-old man about 12 hours earlier, authorities said.
Diego Diaz, 19, targeted the senior on Exchange Place near Broad Street in the Financial District around 1:10 a.m. Sunday, cops said.
Footage released by the NYPD Friday shows the elderly victim crossing the street and walking slowly past Diaz, who was standing still and watching him.
Then he turned and followed the victim, pushing him back into the street against a parked car, the disturbing clip shows.
He allegedly slashed the victim on the arm before he picked the man’s pockets, according to cops and the video.
Diaz took off with the elderly man’s watch and cell phone, valued at $900, authorities said.
The senior had just returned to the city from Martha’s Vineyard with his wife when he was attacked, according to cops.
Diaz then traveled to the Bronx, where at about 1:30 p.m. he allegedly stabbed 33-year-old Leo Frasier in the back on an escalator at the 161st St-Yankee Stadium subway station.
