A homeless maniac stabbed a 75-year-old woman in the neck as she waited for an Uber in Brooklyn after the nutjob eerily grunted “hello” to her, cops and sources said Monday.

Shawnee Moore, 36, — who has three previous arrests on his record, including a bust for another random attack — greeted the victim as she waited for her ride at Glenmore and Christopher avenues in Brownsville around 11:25 a.m. Sunday, authorities and sources said. Moore then hit the unsuspecting woman with a stick and stabbed her in the neck with a knife, cops said.

The approximate location of where an elderly woman was stabbed in the neck by a homeless man in Brownsville, Brooklyn on June 1, 2026. The woman was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition, police said. He was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person, authorities said.

Moore was previously arrested in November 2025 for showing up at a stranger’s Brooklyn address in violation of an order of protection, police said. Two months earlier, Moore sprayed hairspray on a 52-year-old man, sparking a fire and burning the victim’s face inside a Mother Gaston Boulevard nail salon, cops said. His first arrest was in May 2014 for gun and drug possession in Brooklyn, police said.
