On Tuesday, October 23rd at 9:11 p.m. a 28-year-old woman was attacked while running on Bostonian Drive.
According to Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman, Jim Amormino, the woman was grabbed from behind and stabbed her once. Despite being injured, the woman managed to knock the knife out of the culprits hand, but he quickly knocked her down and stabbed her two more times. The victim was stabbed in the face, arm and hand.
A resident of the Rossmoor community rushed outside after hearing the women’s screams, causing the assailant to flee on a BMX bicycle.
The man is described as a thin hispanic man in his early 20’s who was wearing dark clothing and a baseball cap. Amormino is calling the attack random and said the man made no effort to sexually assault the victim.
The victim is being treated today for her three with non-life-threatening stab wounds.
