A New York man accused of slashing a random train rider’s throat and stabbing him in the back multiple times has been arrested three times in the past month and allegedly told detectives he doesn’t remember harming anyone, according to a local report.

Luis Pallchisaca, 21, is accused of attacking commuter Roberto Gaspar, 25, without warning Sunday night, according to the NYPD.

Appearing in court Thursday, Queens Assistant District Attorney Samuel Pellegrino told the judge that Pallchisaca admitted to detectives, “Yes, that’s me [in] the picture,” the New York Post reported. He allegedly confirmed he was wearing the same shirt, then denied knowledge of the slashing.

Mamdani is currently the frontrunner in a field that includes Republican Curtis Sliwa and both Adams and Cuomo running as independents.

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said Pallchisaca is facing charges of attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the slashing.

“As alleged, the defendant mercilessly stabbed the victim in an unprovoked attack and caused life-threatening injuries,” she said in a statement. “Our subway system is not a battleground, it is a lifeline for many.”
