She wrote: “The current events surrounding you can attest to my previous statement of the end times being present.

The maniac had warned about the “diminished [sic] love of people to the point of stabbing others for no reason”.

But the mum-of-three later unleashed a bloody attack in the heart of Manhattan, stabbing two strangers before cops shot her dead.

Cisneros had been armed with two kitchen knives when she stabbed 68-year-old Tak Kam in the stomach near West 41st Street and Seventh Avenue.

She then raced a block before stabbing 32-year-old Bank of America executive Erin Piacenti in the abdomen.

The brutal attack proved fatal for Erin, while Tak was left fighting for his life but was later reported to be in stable condition.

Erin, 32, was a new mum who had only just returned to work after maternity leave when her life was brutally cut short.

The University of Pennsylvania graduate had celebrated her baby daughter’s baptism just days before she was killed in the random attack.

Just four days before her death, Piacenti shared a touching picture of herself beaming as she held her infant alongside her husband.

Cisneros was confronted by cops after fleeing towards an NYPD substation.

Shocking footage shows the suspect waving two blades as officers desperately ordered her to drop the weapons.

Police twice used Tasers in a frantic bid to stop her, authorities said.

But the knife-wielding woman refused to surrender and instead charged towards officers with the blades still in her hands.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Cisneros told cops: “I’m not dropping anything, I would rather kill both of you. I will kill you.”

Officers then opened fire, fatally shooting Cisneros after she charged at them.

The horrifying rampage came after Cisneros had also written in her Facebook post about the “diminished [sic] love of people to the point of stabbing others for no reason.

“You can read it for yourself in the Holy Bible that warns about the end times.”

The disturbing post dated November 30, 2025, further claimed that people could hear voices telling them to kill themselves or others.

Cisneros said: “The enemy of our souls, Satan, knows that his ending is near and would like to take as many souls to hell as possible.

“This is the reason that some people hear voices to either kill someone or themselves or tell people lies such as you have sinned to much to be accepted by Christ and enter the kingdom of God.”

She urged people to follow God’s commandments and also reposted a message from 2020 which read: “Always be kind to strangers. You never know what someone is going through.”

Eyewitnesses said the suspect had been threatening tourists in the packed square before the shocking bloodshed erupted.

The attack was initially reported as a knifepoint robbery, but cops later said they believed there was no clear motive.

Authorities also said they did not believe the rampage was terror-related.

The bloody horror sent shockwaves through the packed streets as terrified bystanders watched the aftermath unfold.

Eyewitness Linda Ruiz described seeing a man covered in blood desperately screaming for help.

She said: “I saw a guy bleeding profusely from his right leg.

“He was gushing blood, saying ‘I need help. Help me.’”

At least two knives were recovered after the terrifying attack, with photographs showing a policewoman holding a large kitchen knife.

Streets surrounding the blood-soaked scene were then cordoned off as cops launched their investigation.
