Woman stabbed twice in shoulder outside Manhattan diner

Midtown, Manhattan (WABC) — An investigation is underway after a woman was stabbed in the shoulder by a random stranger in Manhattan on Wednesday.

Police said the incident occurred around 3:40 p.m. in front of the Brooklyn Diner on 57th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues in Midtown.

A 61-year-old woman was walking down 57th Street when an unknown man approached her and stabbed her twice in the right shoulder with a sharp object.

A nearby construction worker saw the victim trip after a random attack.

“She cried out,” said Jose Valencia of the Good Samaritan. “She let out her scream and when she let out her scream she ran over here. It started.”

It is unclear if the suspect said anything to the victim.

“I noticed she was bleeding from her arm, so I actually gave it to her like a piece of cloth to tie it up so the bleeding would stop,” Valencia said. He said he started running away like that.”

She was transported to Mount Sinai in a stable condition.

Authorities said the suspect fled west toward 8th Avenue and 57th Street wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt.

Police believe the suspect is homeless.

Longtime residents say they find the area different than it used to be.

“It’s a very disgusting scenario,” said resident Rick Bogart. I found someone, and I know people are poor, hungry and suffering now.”

No arrests have been made so far, and the investigation continues.
