A young woman was seriously injured when she was stabbed in the neck by another woman outside a discount store yesterday in the middle of the afternoon in Harlem (NYC).
The dispute began around 3 : pm inside the “D and Z Dollar Plus” store on Madison Avenue and East 109th Street in East Harlem and continued outside.
Surveillance video released by ABC News shows the victim of 28 years fighting with the other woman on the sidewalk, during which she was apparently stabbed in the neck.
She was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital in critical but stable condition. The suspect, a woman wearing a black shirt and jeans, fled the scene. The police said that the victim and the attacker know each other, but they were not identified and no further details have been released.
Towels were seen inside the store that were soaked with blood along the hallways. “It’s not like before in New York. Is not safe. It is awful. It’s scary,” said neighbor Sonia Badreddine.
