NYPD Seeks Suspect in Bronx Stabbing Incident – Increase in Knife Crimes in NYC

NYPD is on the trail of a young woman suspected of stabbing a woman in a residential building in the Bronx earlier this week.

At approximately 12:25 a.m. Monday, a 29-year-old woman got into a dispute with an unknown woman inside 384 East 194th St. in the section Fordham Heights. In the middle of the fight, the suspect pulled out a knife and allegedly stabbed the victim in the torso, he reported. Audacy.com.

The victim was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, the NYPD said. The suspect fled down East 194th Street in an unknown direction. She was described as a woman with long hair and a thin build, captured that time wearing black sweatpants, a black sweatshirt, and sports shoes of various colors. The reason for the dispute is unclear.

Anyone with information about the suspect should call at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and in Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Also through the page crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or by text message to 274637 (CRIMES), followed by TIP577. All communications are strictly confidential.

In New York City The number of stabbings and cuts continues to rise. There were 4,493 cases in 2023 until early December, an increase of 6% compared to the same period in 2022. In parallel arrests for knife crimes have increased almost 30%.

The figures do not surprise experts because knives are easier and cheaper to get than a gun. However, they represent a more brutal attack because they involve more physical approach to the victim.

A previous NYPD report warned last August that fatal stabbings had risen 29% that year in the city compared to before the pandemic (2019). Attacks with knives have become more frequent in various scenarios: streets, buildings, homes, buses, Metro, parties, schools and even commercial establishments and ATM areas.

On Thursday, a Brazilian tourist was stabbed in the neck in a “random” mid-morning attack at the station Queens Plaza of the subway.
