What happened?

A 28-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times in the neck while jogging on Brooklyn’s Shore Parkway Greenway on Friday night. Police said the attack happened around 8 p.m. near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street in the Bath Beach neighborhood. She was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in critical condition and was still alive on Saturday.

Who is involved and why does it matter?

The NYPD is investigating and has not identified a suspect. Police have not said whether the attacker and the victim knew each other, or what may have led to the stabbing. New York Road Runners, the group that runs the New York City Marathon, said it was saddened by the attack and sent sympathy to the victim’s family and the running community.

What is the broader context?

This case matters because it happened on a public waterfront path used by runners and walkers in a major city. The woman was reportedly training for Sunday’s New York City Marathon, which brings attention to safety concerns for people exercising outdoors. The story also comes during a time when New Yorkers are paying close attention to violent crime and police response in public spaces.

What happens next?

Next, investigators are likely to continue reviewing the scene, speaking with witnesses, and asking the public for information. Anyone with tips can contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline or submit them anonymously online. The woman’s condition and any possible motive have not been released, so those details remain unknown.
