“The victim was quickly transported to a hospital,” she said. It was around 1:30 a.m. that medical authorities confirmed that she was out of danger.”
“Everything suggests that the victim knows her attacker,” she added. The two men allegedly had a conflict during which the suspect took a sharp object to injure the victim before fleeing on a bicycle.
