A 28-year-old woman suffered critical injuries after being stabbed multiple times in the neck while jogging along a waterfront path in Brooklyn. The incident occurred around 8 p.m. on Friday near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street in the Bath Beach area, according to the New York City Police Department.
The woman was jogging eastbound on the Shore Parkway Greenway when she was attacked. Emergency medical personnel transported her to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she remains in critical condition.
A police spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that the woman survives, despite her injuries. Her identity remains undisclosed, and the authorities have yet to identify a suspect.
The New York Post cited police sources in reporting that the victim had been preparing for the New York City Marathon. The New York Road Runners (NYRR), the organization behind the marathon, expressed their sympathy for the woman and her family in a statement.
We were sad to hear of this horrible attack—our hearts are with her family and the running community,
The NYRR also acknowledged that the woman had participated in their past races, but did not confirm her current involvement in the marathon.
The attack took place along a section of the pathway overlooking Gravesend Bay. This area features views of Staten Island and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
The NYPD is actively seeking public assistance in their investigation. They urge anyone with information about the stabbing to contact the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or through the Crime Stoppers website. All communications will be kept confidential.
