A 28-year-old woman was critically injured in Brooklyn after being stabbed multiple times in the neck during a jogging session on Friday night. The incident took place along the Shore Parkway Greenway, near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street in the Bath Beach area.
New York City police confirmed the attack occurred around 8 p.m. The woman was jogging eastbound when she was attacked. Emergency responders transported her to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she is in critical condition.
The NYPD has not released the woman’s identity and has yet to identify a suspect. A spokesperson confirmed she is alive as of Saturday.
According to police sources reported by the New York Post, the victim was training for the upcoming New York City Marathon. New York Road Runners (NYRR), the organizing body of the marathon, expressed their sympathy for the victim and her family, emphasizing their support for the running community.
“We were sad to hear of this horrible attack—our hearts are with her family and the running community,” said NYRR.
While records indicate the woman has participated in NYRR races before, it remains unclear if she intended to compete in the marathon.
The assault happened on a waterfront path offering views of Gravesend Bay, Staten Island, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The police are seeking assistance from the public as the investigation progresses.
Those with information about the incident are urged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit details via the Crime Stoppers website. All submissions are anonymous.
