Horrifying video captured the moment a Bronx woman was repeatedly slashed in the face by a man wielding a box cutter in front of her own door as violent crime refused to take a break for the holidays in New York.
The suspect can be seen marching up the stairs to the door of her apartment at 485 East 180th Street after 9p.m on December 23 before trying to kick it open.
Moments later, the man is seen confronting the 48-year-old woman, prompting an argument between the pair over her roommate, police said.
The unidentified suspect then takes out a box cutter and slashes the woman more than ten times across her face and body, according to the video.
The helpless and bloodied victim can be seen extending her arms to protect herself before the suspect flees down down the stairs.
The attack came as felony assaults spiked by almost 10 percent in 2021 compared with last year. There were 22,104 incidents this year, compared with 20,146 in 2020.
