Ex-police officer accused of stabbing NYC jogger to death appears in custody

An ex-NYPD police officer accused of murdering a Brooklyn jogger has been charged with second-degree murder. Sayed Mohassib was seen being led out of a police station in handcuffs on Saturday.

Mohassib, who wore a red Van Dutch jacket, black top and jeans, showed little emotion as he was escorted by police.

Katie Suarez was stabbed on October 30 while jogging along the Brooklyn waterfront. She died in the attack.

According to the New York Post, Mohassib told police that he woke up covered in blood with no memory of the attack, adding that he threw the knife in the garbage.

Mohassib briefly served with the NYPD before he left for the Marines, where he was deemed unfit for service.

Mohassib has been charged with second-degree murder in the case. Photos of him being escorted out of the police station in custody have been published.
