Police confirmed the attack took place at about 8 p.m. near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street, along the Shore Parkway Greenway that overlooks Gravesend Bay and offers views of Staten Island and the Verrazzano‑Narrows Bridge.

The victim was moving eastbound on the greenway when she was struck, police said. She sustained multiple stab wounds to the neck and was immediately taken to NYU Langone Hospital‑Brooklyn by emergency medical personnel. An NYPD spokesperson later confirmed the woman remained alive, though she is still in critical condition.
