A 28-year-old woman was stabbed in the neck while jogging on a Brooklyn waterfront path Friday night and remains critically injured.
A 28-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times in the neck while jogging on a Brooklyn waterfront path near Bay 17th Street and Shore Parkway in Bath Beach on Friday night around 8 p.m. She was transported to NYU Langone Hospital in critical condition. Police sources identified her as Katie Suarez. The New York Post reported that she was declared brain dead on Saturday, though Fox News reported on Saturday that she remained alive.
Police sources said Suarez's father found her on the path when he went looking for her. According to police sources, the attack appeared to be random. Witness accounts described a blood-soaked scene on the pathway, which overlooks Gravesend Bay with views of Staten Island and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Blood smears were seen on a railing and the concrete path, and what appeared to be a pink cell phone lay on the ground.
The New York Post reported, citing police sources, that Suarez had been training for Sunday's New York City Marathon. The New York Road Runners organisation said its records showed she had previously participated in its races but could not confirm whether she planned to run in Sunday's marathon. Neighbours described her as a kind, family-oriented woman who worked as a teller at a local bank. No suspect has been identified. Police have deployed speciality teams including scuba, aviation, K9s and drones, and are canvassing for video footage.
