Maksim Gelman, 23, was arrested Saturday for a rampage that left four people dead in New York City.
The violence began early Friday morning, police sources told The New York Post, when Gelman showed up at his family's Brooklyn apartment and demanded to use a car. When his stepfather, Alexsandr Kuznetsov, refused, cops said Gelman stabbed the 54-year-old man to death and fled -- killing a 62-year-old pedestrian as he drove off.
Later that day, Gelman allegedly went to the home of former girlfriend Yelena Bulchenko, 20, killing her and her mother, Anna, 56. Both women were stabbed more than a dozen times, according to the New York Daily News.
Officers nabbed Gelman at the Times Square subway station in Manhattan this morning, after a male passenger was stabbed repeatedly on a train.
Police said Gelman also stabbed at least four people during a series of carjackings, the Daily News reported.
Gelman has 10 prior arrests, according to the Post, including a drug bust last week. His mother told police he appeared high when he attacked his stepfather.
"That guy's got a bit of a reputation around here," a friend of Telena Bulchenko's told the Post. "You took one look at him and you thought he was on pills."
