Penn Station commuters carved up by a blade-wielding madman in a bloody rampage earlier this month desperately tried fighting back, including one victim who used his backpack to shield the attack, prosecutors revealed Monday. Two men — ages 60 and 42 — both failed to stave off Hector Deleon, 51, during his alleged June 7 stabbing spree that injured seven unsuspecting victims inside the busy Midtown transit hub, according to new court documents. 10 Hector Deleon, 51, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder in the second degree charges for his alleged June 7 rampage.
