[Sugar Cookie]

A 1-year-old boy and a 24-year-old woman were stabbed on Center City streets over the weekend, and now police say the woman responsible is facing several charges.

Takeira Hester, 28, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses after being arrested Saturday.

A mother and father were walking with their twins outside Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel when police say a woman rushed up and attempted to stab both children.

Both babies were in a stroller, but the suspect could only reach one baby. The 1-year-old was stabbed in the forearm.

The father chased the suspect down the 300 block of South 18th Street, where she dropped a black bag she was carrying.

Both victims are said to be in stable condition.

A Brooklyn woman charged in a subway stabbing that left a good Samaritan injured was busted for knifing two people in Philadelphia – including a 1-year-old boy – just days after skipping out on a court date in her New York City case.

Takeira Hester, 28, was out on bail when she missed her April 11 hearing in the assault case for allegedly stabbing a 31-year-old man who tried to break up a fight between her and another woman on a lower Manhattan train in 2022, authorities said.

She now also faces attempted murder charges for the stabbing spree in Philly — which began at around around 8:30 a.m. April 13 when Hester allegedly randomly knifed a 24-year-old woman in the chest and hand in the Center City neighborhood, local cops said.

Just hours later at around noon, Hester allegedly stormed up to a 1-year-old boy riding in a stroller alongside his twin – and brazenly stabbed him in front of both parents on South 18th Street, authorities said.

Hester had a warrant out for her arrest out of New York City at the time after skipping out on her hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court on the assault case, prosecutors said.

She’s accused of attacking a good Samaritan who tried to intervene as Hester fought with another woman on board a southbound No. 4 train at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station around 6 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2022, according to the NYPD.

She allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed the man in the back of the neck, right wrist and shoulder, cops said.

Hester fled out of the station, but was later identified at Bellevue Hospital, where she was arrested, authorities said.

She was charged with second-degree assault and first-degree attempted assault charges in connection to that incident, according to a criminal complaint.

A Manhattan judge at her arraignment ordered her held on $10,000 cash, $15,000 insurance company bond, or $25,000 partially secured surety bond at her arraignment, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

She never should have gotten bail to begin with.

Hopefully when she comes back to New York someone pushes in front of the train.

Why don't the crazies ever push other crazies in front of trains - because even if they are a little off they never go after someone who is equal to them in physical strength or crazy.
