Does not sound as if jail rehabilitated this gentleman.

“My brother just got out of jail for armed robbery,” 19-year-old said Mohamado Hydila, 19, said. “He hasn’t been the same since he got out. Today, out of nowhere he asked me for my phone. Then he went crazy and attacked me. He punched and bit me. Then he went to attack my mom.”
The 18-year-old went ballistic around 2:05 p.m., attacking his older brother during an argument with a cell phone, according to police sources and family members.
Forty-five minutes later, he had slashed his mother across the face and started an inferno in their 21-story Webster Avenue high-rise, police and fire sources said.
The suspect allegedly swung the knife at his mom, cutting her face and his brother called 911 immediately. Cops showed up and tried negotiating but that failed, sources said.

The mother, who was born in Gambia, was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital for treatment of the slash wounds in stable condition, officials said.
