A public school employee who briefly served as an NYPD officer has been charged with second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of a 28-year-old female jogger in Brooklyn last week, an apparently random attack.

Sayed Mohassib, 27, was arrested Saturday in the death of Katie Suarez, who was attacked Oct. 30 on the Belt Parkway bike path. Mohassib told investigators he had been walking along the path with a knife, police said.

He told investigators he blacked out and was covered in blood when he regained awareness, according to law enforcement sources.
