Two alleged burglars repeatedly stabbed a Flushing woman during a terrifying home invasion on Sunday evening.
Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing responded to a 911 call of an attempted robbery inside an apartment building located near the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and Parsons Boulevard just before 5:45 p.m. when they found the 65-year-old victim with multiple stab wounds to her body, an NYPD spokesperson said Monday.
A preliminary investigation determined that two men were checking apartment doors on her floor when they found the front door of the victim’s apartment was unlocked. They entered the unit and attempted to steal her property when she came upon the scene from another room. The burglars allegedly stabbed her multiple times throughout her body with a cutting instrument and ran off empty-handed, police said.
EMS responded to the crime scene and rushed the wounded woman to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. There have been no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.
