A maniac toting a metal pipe was busted after attacking two women and a 15-year-old girl in a five-hour rampage in the Bronx Wednesday morning — a week after he was freed in connection to a separate assault case.
Jeremiah White, 23, allegedly started his string of random attacks at 5:20 a.m., when he approached a 46-year-old woman on West 175th Street and University Avenue screaming “you hit my mom” before whacking her in the face, head, and arms with a pipe and landing multiple punches, a NYPD spokesperson said.
The woman, identified as BronxCare Health nurse Virginia Alvarez, was on her way to work when the brazen attack left her bloodied with a head injury and bruising to her face and eyes, News 12 reported.
“He just kept punching me and punching me and punching me and punching me,” Alvarez told the outlet from her hospital bed at St. Barnabas Hospital, where she remains in stable condition.
“He wouldn’t stop.”
White then allegedly ambushed the teen victim, yelling “watch out!” before hitting her in the back of the head with the pipe as she walked along Louis Nine Boulevard in Crotona Park East at 7:25 a.m., police said.
The young girl was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition.
More than two hours later, at 9:55 a.m., White allegedly pummeled a 54-year-old woman in the face with a closed fist outside an apartment complex on Franklin Avenue in Claremont, cops said.
He was cuffed at 10:25 a.m. and charged with two counts of felony assault and misdemeanor assault.
The crazed thug, who has four prior arrests, had been arrested on Oct. 7 and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching a 17-year-old girl in the face at the 174th Street Station in the Bronx on Sept. 12.
But he was quickly back on the streets following his arraignment. It’s unclear if he was freed on supervised release.
White is due back in court for the September assault on Nov. 18.
The Bronx District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
