An enraged son repeatedly slashed his mom’s home care attendant inside her Brooklyn senior living community — then jumped to his death from the building’s roof, cops and sources said.
The 42-year-old suspect knifed the caretaker, 53, in her head and right arm around 12:30 p.m. inside the Bushwick building on Linden Street near Wilson Avenue, authorities and sources said.
He then plunged from the roof of the 13-story newly constructed building, known as the Linden Grove Senior Residences, cops and sources said.
He suffered “injuries indicative of a fall from an elevated position” and was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
The attendant, meanwhile, went to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.
The son allegedly attacked her in a fit of rage because he was unhappy with his mom’s treatment, sources said.
His name was not immediately released pending family notification.
