A 16-year-old girl and her 15-year-old friend suffered grave injuries when a knife-wielding woman jumped out of a car and stabbed them on a Brooklyn street Friday afternoon, according to a published report.
The two girls had been hanging out on Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights at about 5 p.m. when a car drove up and a woman and man, whom witnesses identified respectively as "Corona" and "Darnell," leapt out and went after them. Witnesses told the Daily News that the man pinned the girls to the ground while the woman repeatedly sliced the 16-year-old's face and thrust the knife once into the 15-year-old.
The girls managed to get away and race a few blocks to one of their homes, where the older teen slumped onto the doorstep, her grandmother told the News. Both teens were taken to the hospital and are expected to be OK. The alleged attackers drove off after the assault and cops still haven't found them.
It wasn't immediately clear why the duo went after the teens, but Cheryl Evans, the grandmother of the 16-year-old victim, told the News it may have had to do with a past argument between the knife-wielding woman and the victim's cousin.
Vikings.
I’ll presume innocence of the victim.
You got that right!
“We must ban knives to stop this type of senseless violence from happening again! (/s)”
Crowbars are dangerous too. We need a crowbar buyback program. We need to melt crowbars down and turn them into junk “art”.
New York was doing better, although this economic meltdown must be hurting. Rush and other smart people have already fled.
I managed to tolerate it for 3 weeks! Someone suggested that I keep 50 bucks in my pocket to pay off the muggers but I prefer a .357 magnum!
How long ago?
I met a guy about 20 years ago, a retired NYC transit cop that moved down here. When I see him face to face we get along, but I heard him on a radio talk show a couple of weeks ago talking about how stupid Southerners are. Actually, he isn't smart enough to pee down his leg if his shoe caught on fire, but he is still convinced he knows everything. He might learn, if he'd shut his damned mouth long enough! He is far from unique, trust me! It's what we expect from New Yorkers.
Thankfully it wasn’t a hate crime...otherwise those knife wounds would really hurt.
Are you talking about Rush? He makes fun of Rio Linda, a town in CA. He was raised in Missouri or somewhere close to there.
