A 36-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times around 11 a.m. Friday in Sunset Park and rushed to a hospital, police say. Authorities say she is expected to survive her injuries.
According to News 12 Brooklyn, the victim was found around 11 a.m. and taken to the hospital, and investigators described the incident as domestic in nature. The NYPD told the outlet that someone was taken into custody at the scene, but officials had not announced a formal arrest as detectives continued their probe. Details remain limited while officers canvass the area and look for witnesses or video.
Police response and tips
The NYPD's Crime Stoppers program lists 1-800-577-TIPS as its anonymous tipline and provides options to submit information online, per the NYPD. Anyone with information or footage about the attack is asked to contact investigators, and anyone in immediate danger should call 911.
What comes next
Because police described the attack as domestic, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, which maintains a gender-based violence division and victim services, is likely to be involved as the case moves forward, per the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office. The stabbing follows a fatal shooting in the neighborhood earlier this month, a reminder of recent violence in Sunset Park, as Masked Trio Hunted After 14-Year-Old Shot reported.
