New York City authorities said a mentally disturbed woman stabbed two people before fatally shooting herself in a "random and unprovoked" attack in Times Square. One victim, a 32-year-old woman, died from her injuries at the hospital, while the other, a 68-year-old man, died from his injuries. The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens, had a documented mental health history.
The incident occurred near 41st Street and Seventh Avenue on Monday afternoon, with the victims being stabbed within 20 seconds of each other. The suspect approached the second victim after stabbing the first, and she refused to drop the knives despite commands from officers. After an exchange of Tasers and gunfire, the suspect was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the incident is not terror-related. Mayor Zohran Mamdani praised the NYPD officers for preventing a more catastrophic event.
