US-‘Bleeding from multiple wounds’: Woman stabbed to death inside NYC apartment
Ns News Online Desk: The victim was unknowingly stalked by a random man following a night out, police said. A neighbor across the hallway called 911 after hearing the victim screaming.
“There was a male inside refusing to exit the apartment,” a police spokesman said Sunday.
The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit was then dispatched to the lower Manhattan crime scene and broke the door down to enter the apartment, where they discovered a man covered in blood, and a 35-year-old woman in the bathroom tub “bleeding from multiple wounds to the body,” according to a source and an NYPD spokesman .
FDNY medics pronounced the unidentified victim dead at 5:55 a.m. A police spokesman said the 911 call was prompted by “a disturbance in the apartment.”
A source told The Post the victim arrived home early Sunday in a cab after a night out. Unbeknownst to her, she was followed by a man into her apartment, a source said. When she entered the apartment, she was attacked by the man, the source said.
Though the victim was an Asian woman, cops do not suspect the incident was a hate crime, according to a source. An NYPD spokesperson told The Post that “it appears” the stabber “may have followed the victim into the building.”
Cops have not yet recovered a weapon and are investigating the scene. The suspect, who was apprehended about 6 a.m., was taken to Bellevue Hospital, police said.
