During a Christmas morning meal at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant, two teenage girls were randomly stabbed by a deranged attacker, leading to attempted murder charges.

The victims, aged 14 and 16 and visiting from South America, suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday, as reported by WABC-TV.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson, allegedly assaulted the tourists following a dispute with restaurant staff attempting to remove him from the eatery.

According to law enforcement sources cited by The Post, Hutcherson yelled, “I want all the white people dead,” and expressed a desire to “sit next to the crackers” before lunging at the unsuspecting teens, the New York Post reported.

Within a minute, the police apprehended Hutcherson, who now faces charges including attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and endangering the welfare of a child, as per MTA police.

The FDNY EMS transported the injured girls to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, with no immediate updates on their conditions.

It remains unclear whether Hutcherson had any prior acquaintance with the victims, but the circumstances suggest they were strangers.

Hutcherson had been arrested at least twice in the past six months, including a November 7 weapons possession incident that resulted in an unconditional discharge, according to WABC.
