and I would have gotten stabbed.

>> Tonight, a terrifying double stabbing on New York City's Upper West Side.

According to law enforcement sources, it happened around 1:30 p.m. near Central Park, just feet from a synagogue.

Witnesses say the man yelled "Allahu Akbar" and stabbed a 57-year-old Asian man in the back without warning.

The suspect then walked two blocks, according to law enforcement sources, and minutes later stabbed a 50-year-old Jewish man in the chest.

In this video shot by an eyewitness, you see him gripping his chest.

The attacker escaped into a nearby building, but was taken into custody an hour later.

>> I'm shocked.

I wouldn't have thought I thought this was a a movie scene, you know?

I thought this was completely staged.

So, I'm I'm in shock.

I would have never thought that this would happen in in this neighborhood, which is very quiet, calm, full of families, and uh >> Yeah. >> nothing intense happening here.

>> Video shot by a person standing nearby shows first responders on scene.

>> Certainly unnerving and when it's random, you're like, "Geez, that can kind of happen to anyone."

Um yeah, scary.

>> The motive unclear.

Police are investigating if this was a hate crime.

They say they believe mental health was a factor.
