A 39-year-old woman was recovering Tuesday after being stabbed in the stomach and slashed on her left arm overnight in the Bronx, an attack that happened near a stretch of White Plains Road that has seen violence before. One person has been taken into custody in connection with the stabbing, and the investigation remains active.
According to News12 | Bronx, the NYPD said the attack happened Monday night around 7 p.m. near White Plains Road and Barnes Avenue. The woman was rushed to Jacobi Hospital for treatment, per the outlet's report.
Details Remain Limited as Case Develops
Beyond the victim's age and the nature of her injuries, few other details have been released. The outlet's report does not identify the person taken into custody or specify whether that individual has been arrested or formally charged. The circumstances that led up to the stabbing have not been disclosed either, and the investigation is still considered active.
This is not the only violent incident to hit the stretch of White Plains Road in recent months. In a separate case this past spring, a 26-year-old man was stabbed at White Plains Road and East 233rd Street in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, according to norwoodnews.org. Police later identified that victim as Marquez Brown, 26, of Wakefield, who was found with slash wounds to his neck, head, and arm, the outlet reported. At the time, police said there had been no arrests and that investigation remained ongoing.
Other Bronx Stabbings Highlight a Pattern of Street Violence
In another Bronx case earlier this year, a 44-year-old man was attacked by two customers inside the Empire Gourmet Deli in Williamsbridge on May 31, bronx.news12.com reported. Police said a man punched the victim before pulling out a sharp object and stabbing him multiple times, then fleeing on foot with another suspect. That victim was also taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
No further updates on Monday night's stabbing near Barnes Avenue have been released, and it remains unclear whether the person in custody will face charges. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
