New York City police are investigating a disturbing pattern of knife attacks that have taken place over the past several days in Brooklyn, leaving three people injured and prompting renewed concerns about public safety across the borough.
According to the NYPD, the incidents occurred on three consecutive days, each involving an unidentified suspect armed with a sharp blade. The attacks were reportedly unprovoked, with victims targeted while walking alone in residential and commercial areas.
Authorities say the assailant fled the scene in each case before officers arrived. The victims sustained non-fatal injuries and were transported to local hospitals for treatment. Detectives are reviewing security camera footage and collecting witness statements in an effort to track the suspect’s movements and establish a possible motive.
While police have not confirmed whether the attacks are connected, the incidents have rattled residents and heightened calls for increased patrols in key neighborhoods. Community leaders have urged vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement as the investigation continues.
“This kind of violence shakes people’s sense of safety in their own streets,” said NYPD spokesperson Lt. Maria DeSantis. “We’re deploying additional resources to ensure residents feel secure while we work to identify and apprehend the suspect.”
The NYPD has asked anyone with information about the attacks to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS, assuring anonymity for all callers.
