UPDATE: A woman has been arrested following a shocking stabbing incident inside the iconic Macy’s Herald Square in New York City. Just after 1:15 p.m. today, police responded to reports of an assault on the seventh floor of the flagship store, where they found a 38-year-old woman suffering from multiple stab wounds to her back and a cut on her right arm.
Police have identified the suspect as Kerri Aherne, a 43-year-old resident of Massachusetts. She faces serious charges including attempted murder, assault with a weapon, and criminal possession of a weapon. The victim was promptly transported to a local hospital and is currently in stable condition.
This violent act marks the second unprovoked assault at Macy’s in just a month. On November 19, Donna Francis, aged 65, attacked a 71-year-old man inside the same store, striking him on the head multiple times with what was believed to be a cell phone. That victim suffered deep internal bruising and required medical treatment.
The escalation of violence at this high-profile shopping destination raises serious concerns for public safety. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with additional information to come forward as the investigation continues.
