David Luciano, 27, approached his first target – an 18-year-old man – on the West Drive at 62nd Street around 1:20 a.m., police said.

The maniac placed his hands around the teen’s neck and punched and kicked him before taking off, authorities said.

He headed north inside the iconic green space, where he cornered his second victim, 37, on the West Drive at 93rd Street around 1:50 a.m., police said.

Luciano similarly choked that victim before throwing him to the ground and biting his ear, authorities said.

Both victims were taken to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.

Neither of the injured men knew their attacker, and they were not known to each other, police said.

Luciano was arrested around 2:50 a.m. near the scene of the second attack and charged with two counts each of assault and criminal obstruction of breathing, police said.

He was also hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation, police said.

Details on Luciano’s prior arrest history were not immediately known.
