An 18-year-old Queens girl jumped from a second-floor window on Saturday to escape her father's murderous rage - moments before he stabbed her mother to death and killed himself, police and friends said.
Paul Johnson, 47, repeatedly plunged a knife into longtime partner Regina Alston's chest about 1:15p.m. in the Jamaica home they had shared for eight years, police said.
The couple had two teenage daughters, one of whom was home at the time of the attack and hurled herself out a window to escape, neighbors said.
"The kids were on the street screaming and crying and falling down," said a neighbor. "It was really sad."
After attacking Alston, Johnson stabbed and hanged himself, police said.
Alston, 47, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where she died.
"I'm hurt that he killed her," said landlord Helen Law, 84, who lived below the couple on Liverpool St. "I'm hurt that he killed himself."
Law said they were model tenants until a few months ago, when there was a fight and Johnson moved out.
