A parolee with 26 busts under his belt – including a crime spree just last week – slashed a woman and a man back-to-back at an Astoria fish market Monday afternoon, cops and sources said.Antonio Quinones, 35, allegedly swung a blade across 29-year-old Samantha Robles’ face after confronting her inside the Broadway Fish Market on Broadway near 48th Street around 4:20 p.m., according to police and the victim’s mother.“This guy who has been hanging around for a while and has a record for the same s–t was outside and winds up slashing Samatha’s face,” the victim’s mother, Rachel Fernandez, told The Post by phone.“She knew him from last year.
He kicked my dog [last year].”“All I know is my daughter called me screaming, screaming, screaming,” Fernandez said, adding she ran downstairs with her husband to see her daughter’s brutal gash.Robles was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.Quinones – who was released on parole in May in connection to a 2022 slashing on the same block – then stormed out of the store and confronted a 54-year-old man outside, cops and sources said. He knocked the victim over, grabbed his scooter and cut him with a blade across his jacket, but did not pierce his skin, according to authorities and sources.He fled after the 4:30 p.m.attack, but quick-acting cops busted him on the way back to his nearby apartment, sources said. Quinones – who has 26 prior arrests on his record – was charged with assault with intent to cause injury, police said. “The guy is always fighting with everyone,” a fish market worker said Tuesday.
