A man fatally stabbed his stepfather, ex-girlfriend and her mother, before running over a pedestrian in a 28-hour rampage in New York City, police said.
The man, alleged to be Ukrainian-born Maksim Gelman, 23, was armed with five knives when he went on a stabbing spree early on Friday, officials said.
Four other people were knifed but survived the attacks.
Mr Gelman was finally arrested on a train on Saturday morning after an all-night manhunt.
Charges against him are pending.
"It's so horrendous and bizarre. We have no reason to know why he did this," said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
He said had not recalled seeing "anything like this" in the decades he had worked for the New York police department.
