“From what I heard, a lady was about to get robbed for her bag… He went to the other lady, cut and robbed her back and cut her in the neck with a piece of glass and then ran up the block,” a bystander in the area named Jordan P. said.

The bystander further described the victim as “really pale.” He also said he heard a woman screaming for help.
