The man accused of hacking a woman with a🔯 massive machete was sent to 💦a hospital for a mental checkup Wednesday after refusing to let his fingerprints be taken.
“He was quiet in the precinct,” a law-enforcement source said of Bryant Park slash suspect Frederick Young. “He didn’t say anything and he was refusing to be printed.🐬”
The lack of cooperation sent Young, 43, to Bellevue Ho✱spital — the same facility where victim Sook Yeong Im is r🐠ecovering from surgery, authorities said.
Young underwent a psychiatric evaluati🍨on, and his defiance delayed his arraignment hearing, prosecutors said.
Cops said Young has more than two dozen pr💦ior arrests, including one for a 2010 attack w💞ith his alleged weapon of choice, a machete.
Meanwhile, Im, 31, is now wary of every American she sees and can’t wait to go home, the good Samaritan who came to her rescue told T꧒he Post.
“She’s very unstable, very scared,” said Saya Da Jung, a Brooklyn art instructor who was teaching a drawing class in the park when the violꦏence unfolded, and accompanied Im to the hospital. “She’s very unsure o👍f every American she sees. She’s just trying to get home as soon as she can.”
Im was looking for a place to re𝄹st with a friend after taking a park yoga class when she crossed paths with a mumbling, menacing homeless man and his big blade, cops said.
S💫ec🎶onds later, she was screaming in agony, blood gushing from her sliced right arm. A parkgoer used a belt as a makeshift tourniquet, cops said.
“Physically, she’s gettiꦫng better,” noted Jung, 35, who checked in on Im on Wednesday. “Buꦅt her third and fourth finger are not moving much.”
