Phillips said he was at the club doing paperwork that morning when he heard 'five or six' gunshots around 11 a.m. He quickly checked around outside and said he didn't see anyone fleeing the scene, but later discovered the windshield and a window of his vehicle had seemingly been shattered by bullets.
The male perpetrator approached the 30-year-old woman and went on the attack, stabbing her several times in the back and left arm. The perpetrator, who wore all black clothing, fled the scene on foot eastbound along 23rd Avenue. Officers from the 115th Precinct responded to the scene along with EMS, who rushed the wounded woman to Elmhurst Hospital.
