Raul Morales – who’s been hit with attempted murder and hate crime charges, and faces up to 40 years in prison – was arrested Thursday for the violent rampage.

Investigators later probed the 51-year-old’s shared apartment on Amsterdam Avenue, discovering writings of Marx – widely considered the father of communism – in his bedroom, according to information at Morales’ Friday night arraignment that was obtained by The Post.

They also reportedly discovered two Qurans, a Jehovah’s Witness Bible, and a book on Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara.

Morales allegedly first stabbed a 57-year-old Asian man in the back with a knife near West 84th Street and Central Park West around 1:30 p.m Thursday, cops said.
