Diana Agudelo, attacked on Randall's Island, suffers severe injuries and is in intensive care. Her daughter Stephanie emphasizes her mother's humanity, stating she's not just a victim but part of their family. Agudelo has undergone multiple surgeries, facing a brain infection and a challenging recovery. Miguel Jiraud, accused of her attempted murder, remains in custody. The attack, occurring late at night as Agudelo biked home, highlights dangers in urban commuting and raises questions about safety for women.
“I need people to know that she's not just a victim,” Stephanie Rodas, 21, said in an interview before the court appearance. “She's my mother. She's my world.”
Rodas said her mother was diagnosed with a brain infection... doctors told her that her mother had little chance of survival.
The attack happened at roughly 11:30 p.m., officials said, after which Jiraud allegedly threw her e-bike in the Harlem River.
Jiraud pleaded not guilty during his appearance... He appeared calm and didn't make eye contact with anyone in the gallery.
