A crazed man left 10 people injured and a wild trail of destruction behind him during a Manhattan rampage Saturday night that involved subway assaults, street beat-downs and two carjackings, according to cops and police sources.
Suspect Bryan Thompson, 43, of Atlantic City, NJ, was wielding what his victims said was everything from a bat to tree branch to wooden clubs — or all of the above at various times — as he raged from Tribeca to Chelsea for less than an hour, police and sources said.
“He was a one-man crime spree,” a police source said.
Thompson allegedly started his attacks in a subway platform in Tribeca at around 6:35 p.m.
He was in the station at Varick and Canal streets when he battered at least three people — a 39-year-old woman, 18-year-old Manhattan man and 57-year-old guy — over the head “with a wooden weapon” in “unprovoked” attacks on the uptown No. 2 train platform, the NYPD said.
The older man was beaten unconscious, he told The Post. He, the female victim, who is from New Jersey, and the teen were left with bloody with wounds to their heads and hospitalized in stable condition, police said. One of the wounded is an MTA worker, sources said.
Thompson then fled the subway and hit another 39-year-old woman on the street nearby with the same object, police said. Then he spotted a 39-year-old man in or next to a parked idling SUV on Seventh Avenue near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel and allegedly attacked him, cutting him on the forehead. The victim fled, leaving his vehicle running, and Thompson hopped behind the wheel and zoomed off, cops said.
He smashed the speeding black SUV into two parked unoccupied vehicles before crashing it around Sixth Avenue and Laight Street, police said. Thompson then dumped the car and tried to carjack a 2006 Ford Taurus from a woman by breaking its rear window and attempting to drag her from the vehicle, they said.
He eventually threw in the towel on that carjacking, moving on to a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee nearby, police said. He allegedly broke a side window of the car and tried to swipe it from its 32-year-old female driver, again to no avail.
Thompson used either bats or tree branches to smash in the vehicles’ windows, the victims told cops.
The Jeep driver ended up with some of the smashed glass in her eye, cops said.
The frustrated Thompson ran off again — only to attack two people, beating them with “a wooden weapon,” walking near the Hilton Garden Inn, police said. One of the pedestrians, a 42-year-old Texas man, suffered a broken arm, while the 41-year-old woman with him had a badly bruised and swollen leg, sources said.
Thompson then successfully carjacked his second vehicle, a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, after threatening the 33-year-old male driver who had just parked in front of 66 West Broadway, police said.

The suspect sped off in the stolen car and was finally spotted again about 7:12 p.m. driving north on the West Side Highway around West 24th Street, cops said.
He soon crashed into an NYPD patrol car and came to a stop after hitting a median, police said.
Thompson refused to get out of the car, so officers broke one of the vehicle’s windows and tased, cops said.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital and charged with assault, police said.
“He’s been charged with all these incidents, but obviously they have to send him in for a psych evaluation first,” a source said.
