A 28-year-old man who slashed the face of an innocent bystander in New York at the weekend boasted about the attack in his diary, which helped cops charge him with the crime.
Francis Salud is charged with cutting the cheek of Anthony Christopher-Smith, 30, along East 6th Street in the East Village, around 4.30 p.m. on Sunday.
Police say that he wrote a message in his phone after the attack that said he 'did a buck fifty on somebody near Third Ave. [ON E. 6TH ST.]', with 'buck fifty' being slang for causing a wound that requires 150 stiches.
'He actually made an entry in his own planner, that he had committed this crime,' Assistant District Attorney Gregory Sangermano said in Manhattan Supreme Court, The New York Daily News reported.

Anthony Christopher-Smith was walking down East 6th Street near Cooper Square with headphones on around 4:30 p.m. when he was knocked to the ground and slashed across the face
Quote:
Salud has also been charged for a similar attack on E. 23rd St. in October.
That case remains opened.
Prosecutors this week described Salud as a dangerous menace who should not be granted bail.
'He is a danger to quite literally anyone he happens to pass on the street,' Sangermano said.
The judge subsequently denied bail.
The victim, Mr Smith, gave an interview about the attack after leaving Bellevue Hospital, and explained how he wasn't able to call 911 for help because of the amount of blood gushing from his face.
He was slashed from his ear to his jawline.
'My hands were covered (in blood), my phone was covered,' he told NBC News.
He added of the suspect: 'I got a decent look, I've never seen the person before. He looked like he was of an Asian background, little guy, he looked like he had a blade in his hand.'
After eight hours of surgery, doctors managed to patch up the Newark social worker's face although it remains partially paralyzed on the right side after several nerves were severed.
