A woman was walking through Times Square Sunday morning, pulling a cart and minding her own business, when a man randomly charged her from behind and slashed her with a box cutter, police said.
The attack happened at 10 a.m. Sunday at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue. A 59-year-old Asian woman told police that a man approached her and, unprovoked, slashed her right hand.
She was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD shows the woman apparently walking up 42nd when - out of nowhere and for no apparent reason - the man charges up behind her, slashes her hand and then backs off.
