Maniac slash attack in Harlem supermarket

Abdullah Mohammed, 51, of 125th Street, was at the Harlem supermarket when he started arguing loudly at the customer service desk with William Perry, 70, a former truck driver. Perry was at the desk buying Lotto tickets when Mohammed stepped on his foot, irking the older man, according to his older brother, Charles Perry. Mohammed was booted out of the store, but stormed back in minutes later and cornered Perry in the meat aisle. He then whipped out a razor and slashed Perry across the neck. A store employee tackled Mohammed and subdued him until the police responded to the meat aisle melee. Mohammed was dragged out of the supermarket screaming. Mohammed was arrested and charged with assault in the first degree. Perry was taken to Harlem Hospital and was likely to survive his injuries.
