5 People, Including 3 Infants, Stabbed at NYC Day Care; Butcher Knife, Meat Cleaver Found at Scene
NBC News ^ | Sept 21, 2018 | Katherine Creag, Pei-Sze Cheng and Benjamin Carroll

A 52-year-old day care worker allegedly stabbed five people, including three baby girls no more than a month old, at an overnight facility in Queens early Friday, and cops say they found a butcher knife and meat cleaver at the scene.

A 3-day-old girl and a 1-month-old girl were stabbed in the stomach; a 20-day-old girl had a laceration to her ear, chin and lip. All are in critical but stable condition, authorities said. Two other people, a father of a child at the day care and another woman who worked there, were also stabbed at the Flushing center just before 4 a.m. Friday. The woman was stabbed eight times in the torso.

Police say the 52-year-old woman was found unconscious on the basement floor of the day care center on 161st Street with her left wrist slashed in what police say was a self-inflicted wound. She is in police custody at a hospital; officials said she has regained consciousness, but it's unclear if she's talking. Charges are pending.

Authorities say it appears the stabbing spree started with an attack on the adult female. The 31-year-old father who was injured intervened and was stabbed in the leg; then the attack on the children began. Someone called 911.

It wasn't clear whether the stabbed father's child was one of the infants stabbed. He, along with the worker stabbed in the torso, are hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

Nine babies -- five girls, four boys -- were in the house at the time. Police say some other parents were there as well. It wasn't clear whether the facility was licensed or why it had so many newborns there at the time of the stabbing; state records indicate there was a registered business at the location.

An official briefed on the investigation tells News 4 it was a maternity center. Mothers would go there with their newborns and workers would help take care of the babies. It’s also a place where foreigners could have their babies here and those children would become American citizens.

Separately, NYPD officials said there was paperwork indicating it was a day care, though they are looking more into the exact nature of the center.

No possible motive has been revealed. Police said they received one 311 call there years ago -- a call about children screaming in 2011.

Video from the scene showed a heavy police presence, with dozens of law enforcement vehicles and officers swarming the scene. Later, officers accompanied by cops in white biohazard suits were seen carrying large bags to a specialized crime scene unit truck.

NEW YORK — Two adults and three infants were injured during a knife attack in Queens early Friday morning.

According to PIX 11, authorities were called to a home on 161st Street in Flushing around 3:40 a.m. When they arrived they discovered three infants - two girls and a boy - as well as a daycare worker and one of the children’s father had been stabbed.

Their accused attacker was also injured from a self-inflected knife wound, police said.

One of the little girls was rushed to the hospital in serious condition. No word on the conditions of the other victims.

It’s unclear what led up to the attack.

Two-Week-Old Baby Among Five Slashed With Knife at NYC Daycare

Senior police official told The Daily Beast that Yu Fen Wang was suspected of attacking three infants and two others with a meat cleaver

A 52-year-old babysitter accused of using a knife to stab five people—including three infant girls under her care—at a childcare facility early Friday morning in New York was suffering from “psychological distress,” authorities said.

The woman, identified by a senior NYPD official as Yu Fen Wang, was found unconscious in the basement of the three-story building with a slash wound to the wrist, authorities said.

A cleaver was on a kitchen counter near where Yu had come to rest, the official said. A second weapon—a bloody kitchen knife—was recovered in the first-floor bathroom, where the initial incident took place.

Yu has been arrested and charges are pending.  

All of the victims—who include a two-week-old and two one-month-old girls, as well as an adult man and woman—are in stable condition at nearby hospitals, police said.

Police responded shortly before 4 a.m. to a 911 call at Mei Xin Care Inc., a licensed daycare center in Flushing section of Queens, and found the three infants with stab wounds to the abdomen, the official said.

Officers also found a man and woman who had been stabbed, who directed police to to the basement, where Wang had fled and locked the door, the official said.

Wang was taken to a local hospital and taken into custody.

The man and woman, 31 and 30 years old, respectively, have not been identified. The man was stabbed in the leg. The woman was stabbed about the body. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening. The woman works at the daycare, the official said.

In May, Upper West Side nanny Yoselyn Ortega was sentenced to life in prison, without parole, for the October 2012 murder of two children under her care.

“Yu Fen Wang” is the name of the alleged perp. I’m going to guess that you are 100% correct.

So the ready-to-pop, non-Engrish speaking women who know nothing about the USA fly in and for legal/immigration reasons they deliver the child here.

And the child is AS American as me..?

That’s an obscenity.

Not really. Any sensible reader would be wondering why there were days-old infants in a "day-care center" at night. Six weeks is a typical minimum age for infants to be accepted in centers.

Oh, the NYPD must have just got it wrong or even be hiding the truth! We all know that only Moslems and black people do bad things.

Good guess. I'm familiar with the area. Lived there for a time. And lived in Queens all but 1 of my 60 years.
