A lunatic hacked off his Bronx neighbor’s hand and then fatally slit her throat with a machete in an unprovoked attack on Sunday, according to police sources.
Angel Feliz-Volquez, 25, ambushed and butchered Carmen Torres-Gonzalez, 59, as she chatted with her mother’s home health-care aide outside their fifth-floor apartment in the Mott Haven Houses, law-enforcement sources said.
The victim was found lying in a pool of blood in the hallway just after 4 p.m., the sources said.
Her right hand had been chopped off completely, her left hand was partially severed and she had suffered cuts to her throat, cheek and shoulder.
Cops nabbed Feliz-Volquez a short time later in his apartment, which is in the same building — and on the same floor — as the victim’s.
Officers recovered the machete in the stairwell.
Feliz-Volquez — whom neighbors described as “the mental guy” — was charged with murder, manslaughter and possession of a weapon.
“It’s pretty bad,” a police source said of the grisly scene.
“This psychopath chopped her hand off.”
One neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, said the scene seemed like something out of the horror movie “The Shining.”
“It looked like somebody just took a couple of buckets of red paint and poured it down the stairs. We have never seen so much blood,” the resident said.
“I heard her screaming,” the resident added.
“The screaming was really chilling.”
