MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- A man is under arrest after police say he stabbed a livery driver during an attempted carjacking spree on the FDR Drive on Tuesday.
Officials say the incident began around 2:40 p.m. on the southbound side of the FDR Drive approaching the Manhattan Bridge exit, where police were responding to a robbery.
They say the suspect, Ismael English, 20, was a rideshare passenger in a black Tesla, when at full speed on the FDR Drive, he tried to carjack the driver.
When the driver refused, police say English stabbed him three times. The car crashed into the Jersey barrier along the shoulder.
The Tesla also rear-ended another vehicle, whose passengers recounted the chaos to Eyewitness News reporter CeFaan Kim.
Video shows the suspect hanging off the ledge before falling several stories down from the FDR onto a bike path below.
English broke both legs and was taken into custody. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he is expected to survive.
He is charged with attempted murder, attempted robbery, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a weapon.
The 36-year-old victim, driving for Lyft at the time of the stabbing, is in critical but stable condition at the same hospital.
