Police are searching for a woman who allegedly stabbed two men and slashed a third outside North Central Bronx Hospital in the Norwood section of the Bronx on Wednesday evening, according to officials. All three victims walked into the hospital on their own for treatment and are expected to recover.
The confrontation erupted around 6 p.m. in front of 3424 Kossuth Ave, investigators said. Before the knives came out, a woman and another man argued with three men. As reported by News 12 The Bronx, the woman allegedly slashed a 28-year-old man on the hand with a cutting instrument, stabbed an 18-year-old in the torso, and stabbed a 24-year-old in the back of the head.
All three men then went into the hospital to receive care and are expected to be OK, officials said.
