Police reports state that just after 5:00 a.m.[3] on February 11, 2011, Gelman stabbed and killed his mother's companion Aleksandr Kuznetsov in Brooklyn after an argument with his mother about driving Kuznetsov's vehicle.[4] His mother was not physically hurt. Gelman then took the vehicle and sped off in it, running over a crossing guard and breaking her leg.[5]
Gelman then went to the house of a female acquaintance named Yelena Bulchenko, where he killed her mother Anna at about 10:30 a.m.[3] He then allegedly left the crime scene and waited several hours for Yelena, who had been staying at a friend's house, to return home. Once she did, she found Anna dead and called 9-1-1, but Gelman was on his way back to the scene to check if she returned home. Upon arrival at about 4:00 p.m.,[3] he spotted her outside on the phone and got out the car, to which she yelled at him. He hid the knife in his pocket and approached her, but she took off running. However, Gelman caught up with her and stabbed her eleven times, killing her, before speeding off in Kuznetsov's car. Ramming into another car, Gelman stabbed and wounded the driver, Arthur DiCrescento, three times when he confronted him, before carjacking the vehicle.[3] Gelman later ran down 62-year-old pedestrian Stephen Tanenbaum, who subsequently died of his injuries.[6][7]
Afterwards, Gelman abandoned DiCrescento's car just before 1:00 a.m. of February 12[3] and hailed a livery cab before stabbing its driver, Fitz Fullerton. He then approached another car with a couple inside and attacked the driver, Shelden Pottinger, stabbing him multiple times in the hand. He then stole Pottinger's vehicle and drove off in it.[3][4][7] After boarding a northbound 3 train at 34th Street - Penn Station just after 8:00 a.m., he stabbed Joseph Lozito, a ticket seller at Lincoln Center.[8] By this time, passengers recognized him from a newspaper article about his killing spree and notified authorities.[7]
According to some reports,[6] Gelman started banging on the door of a motorman's cab, demanding to be let in, at which point two police officers assigned to the manhunt arrived and subdued him after a struggle with Lozito's help. However, other accounts[9][10] stated that Lozito engaged in a physical confrontation that subdued Gelman, while officers Terrance Howell and Tamara Taylor hid in the motorman's cab, and did not come out until Lozito had disarmed Gelman and pinned him on the ground.[6][9]

A fugitive with a knife, who the police said had left behind a calamity of murders and broken lives in Brooklyn, was captured by officers at Times Square on Saturday morning after stabbing another victim on a subway train, investigators said.
It was the culmination of a roller-coaster of violence that included three fatal stabbings; a hit-and-run homicide; four other stabbings; four auto thefts, including two carjackings; death threats against several others who got in the way; a dangerous manhunt by hundreds of police officers; and for millions of New Yorkers a round-the-clock ordeal of a killer on the loose in the city.
It was the culmination of a roller-coaster of violence that included three fatal stabbings; a hit-and-run homicide; four other stabbings; four auto thefts, including two carjackings; death threats against several others who got in the way; a dangerous manhunt by hundreds of police officers; and for millions of New Yorkers a round-the-clock ordeal of a killer on the loose in the city.
The all-night manhunt led to several sightings in Brooklyn and Manhattan and to a cat-and-mouse chase through dark subway tunnels that ended shortly before 9 a.m. when the suspect, Maksim Gelman, 23, climbed up from the tracks, boarded a northbound No. 3 train and confronted a 40-year-old passenger, Joseph Lozito.
“You are going to die,” Mr. Gelman said, according to Mr. Lozito’s sister, then slashed Mr. Lozito in the back of the head.
The police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, said that moments later, Mr. Gelman pounded on the door of the motorman’s compartment, identifying himself as a police officer and demanding entry. Two transit officers were in the compartment with the motorman, scanning the tracks ahead for Mr. Gelman.
They opened the door, saw the fugitive with his knife and a man bleeding on the floor, and leapt out. In the ensuing fight, Officers Terrance Howell and Tamara Taylor subdued, disarmed and handcuffed Mr. Gelman, with help from an off-duty detective, Marcelo Razzo. Mr. Lozito was taken from the train at 40th Street and Seventh Avenue to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he was reported in stable condition.
Mr. Kelly said he had never encountered a crime spree like Mr. Gelman’s. “It’s so horrendous and bizarre,” he said at an afternoon news conference. “Obviously, if he wasn’t apprehended this morning, he could have injured, killed, many more people.”
The commissioner said Mr. Gelman had a record of 10 arrests dating to 2003, mostly for graffiti-writing but also for robbery and possession of crack cocaine. It was unclear if he had any history of mental illness. Asked if the suspect had made any statements, the commissioner cited only one — “She has to die,” an apparent reference to his former girlfriend, one of his victims

Michael Kirby Smith for The New York Times
The police cordoned off several blocks in Sheepshead Bay on Friday as officers searched for a suspect, Maksim Gelman.
The suspect, identified by the police as Maksim Gelman, remained at large on Friday night after leading the police on a trail of death and destruction that stretched across the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
The police said that the rampage began with an argument at about 5 a.m. in the apartment on East 27th Street that Mr. Gelman shared with his stepfather, Aleksandr Kuznetsov, 54, and his mother, Svetlana Gelman, 48. What the argument was about, the police did not say, but they said it ended with Mr. Gelman’s repeatedly stabbing Mr. Kuznetsov
Mr. Gelman, who was called Max in the neighborhood and who she believed had been born in Russia, had been an expert skateboarder as a teenager. Anthony Riggio said Mr. Gelman had had some brushes with officials over graffiti....As for the idea that Mr. Gelman could become so angry that he could go on a stabbing rampage, she said, “From the outside look of it, you’d never know.”
