A Jewish man wearing a yarmulke was seen on video clutching his chest after a maniac stabbed him in the chest with a screwdriver.

The victim, identified as Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus by the New York Times, was seen holding a tissue to his chest as he sat sprawled on a Manhattan street corner waiting for emergency services.

The 50-year-old victim had been leaving a synagogue when he was targeted on Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street, according to cops and sources.

Suspect Raul Morales, 51, allegedly screamed “Allahu Akbar” before driving the screwdriver into Grunhaus’ torso, according to cops and sources.

Another victim was allegedly attacked by the same maniac earlier that day. Chok Sung, 57, was stabbed in the back with a knife at West 84th Street and Central Park West just moments earlier, police and the sources said.

Both victims were brought to Saint Luke’s Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, according to police.
