At around 10:23 a.m., a man wearing a gray sweatshirt and black shorts ran up to two pedestrians on the Upper West Side, brandishing a knife. The brazen attack left a tourist seriously injured.
Eyewitnesses reported that after being attacked, the victim crawled into the doorway of 114 West 86th Street, desperately trying to stem the bleeding until help arrived.
Police sources confirmed that the 55-year-old victim was slashed across the face and ear during the incident, resulting in heavy blood loss and requiring surgical attention.
A suspect matching the description of the attacker was taken into custody the morning after the incident, with investigations ongoing and charges pending.
