Exam ordered for saw rampage suspect

NEW YORK (AP) -- A man accused of wielding two cordless power saws in a subway station and slicing into a postal worker's chest during a pre-dawn rampage was ordered Friday to undergo a psychiatric examination.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Eileen Koretz ordered the examination for Tareyton Williams, 33, of the Bronx, during his arraignment on charges of attempted murder and misdemeanor assault.
Williams, wearing dirty socks but no shoes, entered no plea. His lawyer, Sharyn Henry, had no comment.
A witness told police he recognized Williams as the man who attacked Michael Steinberg early Thursday in a station a few blocks from Columbia University, according to a felony complaint.
Steinberg, 64, suffered cuts and punctures on his chest and torso, broken ribs, a punctured lung and other injuries, the complaint says. He was at a hospital in stable condition.
