A FedEx worker with mental health problems who was charged with stabbing someone while on the job pleaded guilty Tuesday and will be sentenced to 10 years in prison, officials said.
A lawyer for Tyquan Bailey, 23, said the delivery worker’s psychological issues caused him to have paranoid delusions that led to the April 2018 attack on Jack Gindi, 28, in Midtown.
Prosecutors said Bailey was working when he approached the victim from behind and began to repeatedly slash and stab him on Fifth Ave. near 33rd St.
Gindi was taken to Bellevue Hospital and survived the attack, officials said.
Bailey, who was charged with attempted murder, had claimed he was defending himself during the rampage, but video evidence disputes that version, prosecutors said.
