Horrific CCTV footage captured the brutal attack showing the hooded knifeman, who was behind her, slashing at Zarutska who had her headphones in and was oblivious to what was going on.

She was pronounced dead on the light rail with fatal wounds to her neck and Brown was charged with first degree murder.

President Donald Trump has already called for him to receive the death penalty.

A fundraiser for the pizzeria-worker’s family described how she had “recently arrived in the United States, seeking safety from the war and hoping for a new beginning”.

Now, Brown’s mother Michelle Dewitt, has spoken out about her son’s alleged actions, making a shocking confession about his freedom.

“He shouldn’t have been released,” the 51-year-old told The New York Post.

She revealed how her son, who suffers from schizophrenia, should not have been allowed out of prison on a “written promise” that he would return to court following an arrest at the beginning of the year.

He previously served a five-year sentence for armed robbery for which he was released in 2022.
