Staten Island Woman Stabbed, Husband Jumps off Bridge: Police

A Staten Island woman was critically injured in a stabbing and her husband jumped to his death from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, police say.

The 51-year-old woman was found in her home Sunday with two stab wounds, police say. 

The body of her 47-year-old husband was retrieved from the water by the Coast Guard, police say. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Officers had responded to the couple's home in 2007 after getting a call about a domestic dispute, police say.

The couple's names were not immediately released.
