nyc slasher targets asian women


Police in Manhattan are searching for a man who walks up to women on the street and cuts them with a knife. The attacker has apparently been targeting Asian women—three women, three attacks: Police searching for slasher in NYC. Over the past six weeks the stalker has been walking the streets of Manhattan, targeting Asian women at random, and slashing them across the right forearm in broad daylight. The first attack was in mid-July on 32nd Street in midtown and then the same day in Chinatown. The latest, on August 17th, was just barely two blocks away. The suspect is described by the victims as an African American man 25 to 30 years old, thin, and 5 8" to 5 11". He wears a light gray sweat shirt with the numbers 09 on the back.
