A man who witnessed the deadly stabbing of EMS Lt. Alison Russo in Queens said the suspect was pacing, then charged at the veteran first responder. GainerTV has the exclusive details.
Friday, police were outside the suspect's apartment waiting for a search warrant to go through his home. Sources said they're looking for the murder weapon, CBS2's Alice Gainer reported.
Russo, 61, was on duty Thursday afternoon when she left to get food after 2 p.m. About a block away on 41st Street and 20th Avenue, Russo was caught off-guard by, according to police and witnesses, 34-year-old Peter Zisopoulos. Orsaris was on his scooter when he said he saw Zisopoulos suddenly charge at Russo.
"I realized he was stabbing her, knife in his hands and the look of nothing in his face. I'm screaming at him, he gets up and just charges after me," said Orsaris."Obviously I take off. I mean, I have a knife on me too, but what, am I going to have a knife battle with this guy? This guy ... he wasn't there."
Police sources said Zisopoulos had one prior interaction with the NYPD. They were called to his home because he was acting erratically and making physical threats in 2018. He was classified as an emotionally disturbed person and taken to the hospital.
