An unhinged man stabbed a woman in the neck with a broken bottle — leaving her clinging to life — in a terrifying random attack in Soho on Monday afternoon, cops and sources said.
The 25-year-old woman was walking at the corner of Wooster and Broome streets when the maniac approached and attacked her without warning around 3 p.m., according to authorities and sources.
The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, cops said.
The suspected stabber — who gave a fake name to cops — was taken into custody at the scene, cops and sources said.
He is described as an “emotionally disturbed person” and is believed to be in his 40s, the sources said.
Cops are investigating whether the suspect struck someone else with the bottle before he attacked the woman, according to the sources.
