‘Went crazy’ late Nov. on fire escape

Window-smash rant

The man who allegedly stabbed two teen tourists at Grand Central Terminal went on a deranged rant from the fire escape of his Bronx building last month — daring cops to come get him and vowing to “kill all the white women,” according to video and neighbors.

Steven Hutcherson, 36, can be seen shouting into the night outside an apartment window several stories up at the building at 31 Mount Hope Place as residents and police look on from below in footage of the hours-long ordeal obtained by The Post.

“I can do what I want,” Hutcherson is heard yelling at one man. “Suck my d--k.”

Locals said the tirade came after police showed up the morning of Nov. 27 as the landlord tried to evict the career criminal for not paying his rent — and Hutcherson allegedly threatened he would jump off the roof.

Instead, he later apparently climbed up the fire escape from his first-floor apartment, smashing several apartment windows with a brick and launching into an unhinged screed.

“He said to the police, ‘You want to die? Come closer,’ ” neighbor Paulino Ortiz recalled Thursday. “They [police] did nothing. They just stepped back and waited for the SWAT team.”

Law-enforcement sources previously told The Post that the troubling incident was one of several instances in which cops were called over reports of mental-health disturbances involving Hutcherson. The most recent took place Dec. 5, when he was found acting unruly outside the same Bronx building and brought to St. Barnabas Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Residents said cops were so used to responding to his episodes that when they showed up on Nov. 27, they told him, “Oh, it’s you again.”

“That day he went crazy,” building tenant Kyle Mariani said. “He said he was going to kill all the white women. I was telling him to come down. I said it was going to be OK, just come down.

“The police came and about 20 of them set up one of those big air mattresses in case he jumped,” Mariani continued. “Then they soaked him with mace. He was cursing at all of them, going up and down the fire escape breaking the windows on three different floors.”

Building menace

Ortiz said Hutcherson terrorized neighbors and was known in the building as a loose canon.

“Before that he was hanging all these pictures of white women who had been kidnapped and sex trafficked,” Ortiz said, referring to notes Hutcherson had apparently taped to his apartment door.

Law-enforcement sources have said Hutcherson has been arrested at least 17 times over the last two decades — and he has been involved in several incidents where he allegedly violated a restraining order taken out against him by an ex-girlfriend.
