A 28-year-old woman was stabbed in the neck while out for a jog on a bike path in Brooklyn's Bath Beach neighborhood Friday night, and she remains in critical condition. The attack happened around 8:16 p.m., according to multiple reports, though accounts differ on the exact stretch of path where it occurred. As of Saturday, no arrests had been made and the circumstances behind the attack were still unclear.
According to CBS New York, the woman was jogging on a bike path when someone stabbed her in the neck. That outlet placed the attack near Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue, while The New York Daily News reported that police said the victim was running near Shore Parkway and Canton Avenue when she was attacked around 8:16 p.m. Both locations are in the Bath Beach area, and it is not clear from available reporting which is correct.
A Relative's Desperate Search
The Daily News reported that a relative went looking for the woman and, while searching, found her lying wounded and unconscious on the bike path, according to sources cited by the paper. ABC7 New York reported separately that the woman's family members discovered her after she failed to meet them as planned, and that sources described her as having been found in the grass with a stab wound.
She was rushed to NYU-Langone Brooklyn in critical condition, per the same account from News 12 Brooklyn. The severity of her injury has kept her listed in critical condition since the attack, with no update yet reported on her status.
No Arrests, No Clear Motive
Investigators have not announced any arrests. News 12 Brooklyn reported plainly that no arrests have been made as the investigation continues. CBS New York similarly noted that what led to the stabbing remains unclear, describing the investigation as ongoing.
No motive, suspect description, or additional details about the circumstances leading up to the attack have been made public. The case remains under investigation in Brooklyn, and authorities have not released further information about a possible person of interest.
