A teen thug charged with viciously slashing a Queens mom in an unprovoked attack was taken into custody trying to hop a flight to Peru — and charged after his own dad ID’d him, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Luis Emmanuel Valencia Ponce, 18, who is charged with viciously stabbing mother-of-three Lisette Ramales at an East Elmhurst bus stop Monday, flipped out at JFK airport after trying to board a flight without a ticket or boarding pass — and was taken into custody by Port Authority police.
Ponce was hospitalized for observation as an emotionally disturbed person after the episode, when police realized he was the goon wanted in the caught-on-video slashing, with his own father confirming he was a wanted man, the sources said.
The teen’s family is from Peru.
Ponce betrayed no emotion and gave reporters an icy stare as he was led out of the 115th Precinct in handcuffs on Thursday, when he was due to be arraigned on assault and attempted murder charges.
Ramales, 29, was on her way to work and was standing at a bus stop at 23rd Avenue and 94th Street around 6:20 a.m. when the knife-wielding nut walked up behind her and stabbed her.
“I was waiting for the light to turn to walk,” she told The Post from her hospital bed. “I was waiting, all of a sudden, the guy slashed me. I yelled, and he looked like he turned around to go. And then just because I yelled, he did it again.” --->READ MORE HERE

Surveillance video showed the woman, who has three children, being stabbed once before her ski-masked attacker returned to stab her again when she was already wounded.
“She is scared of everything that happened and, obviously, does not want to come back to this area ever again,” her husband told WABC-TV. “After what happened, she’s afraid she’ll be attacked again.”
“He deserves exactly what is coming to him, more than anything else, we want justice — We want them to catch him, to lock him up, and to make him pay for what he did,” the victim’s husband said of the suspect. “Because what he did to her was completely unjust, especially considering she is a woman.” --->READ MORE HERE
