A knife-wielding maniac stabbed a woman who objected to his comments about her looks outside a Manhattan watering hole on Kentucky Derby Day — then slashed a pair of good Samaritans who tried to intervene, prosecutors said Wednesday. James Washington, 57, was indicted on several charges for the May 2 attack in the Meatpacking District that left three people injured — including one bystander who was so critically wounded that he had to have a tube inserted into his chest, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said. “This case started with the defendant approaching two young women and began making derogatory comments as to their appearance, as to how they were dressed,” Assistant District Attorney Jesus Castaneda said in Manhattan Supreme Court.
