Police nabbed the suspect who allegedly slashed and robbed a 53-year-old man in Jackson Heights on Christmas Eve.

Yesterday the NYPD arrested 35-year-old Johnson Kamar of Mount Vernon, NY and charged him with attempted murder, robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.

Kamar fled the scene with $900 worth of property, while the victim was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/ Elmhurst in stable condition, police said.
