Four homeless men were killed in Manhattan when someone attacked them with a metal object, apparently while they were sleeping, according to New York City police.
A suspect -- a 24-year-old man who investigators believe also is homeless -- is in custody, New York police Detective Annette Shelton said.Officers found the victims early Saturday in three locations in or near Chinatown after someone called 911 to report one of the assaults shortly before 2 a.m., NYPD Assistant Chief Stephen Hughes said.Investigators found a metal object -- possibly a pipe -- that they believe was used in the attacks, NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Baldassano said.
Two witnesses told police they saw a man in a black jacket and black pants strike someone numerous times with a metal object before fleeing, according to Hughes.Officers started searching the area and found a man matching the attacker's description about a quarter-mile away, Hughes said. The man was taken into custody.Officers expanded their search, and eventually found three other bodies -- two in front of 2 East Broadway, and one in front of 17 East Broadway, Hughes said.
