Surveillance footage allegedly shows a man New York City police say is accused of a stabbing attack on a black man. (New York Police Department)A white man from Maryland who told police he traveled to New York to kill black men turned himself in on Wednesday, about 24 hours after he fatally stabbed a man he encountered on the street, officials said. “The reason why he picked New York is ’cause it’s the media capital of the world,” said William Aubry, assistant chief of the New York City Police Department. The attack is “extremely distressing,” James P. O’Neill, the New York City police commissioner, said at the same briefing. No act of violence can undermine who we are.”Melissa Mark-Viverito (D), speaker of the New York City Council, called Jackson a white supremacist.
