  "summary": "A woman stabbed two people in New York City's Times Square on Monday, killing one of them. The woman, who was identified as Pamela Cisneros, 49, by The Guardian US, was then shot and killed by police. According to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, as reported by Malay Mail and CBS News, the second victim was in stable condition at hospital.\n\nThe stabbings occurred at around 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue, with the suspect fleeing towards an NYPD substation. Police said she was armed with two large knives and was described as apparently emotionally disturbed.\n\nThere is no evidence to suggest the incident was a terrorist attack, according to Le Monde English. The NYPD had a documented mental health history for the woman, though she had no arrest history.",
