A woman was stabbed in the face and a man knifed in the stomach by a suspect wearing all black in Brooklyn Monday, law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation tell News 4. 

Both victims were taken to a hospital after the attack just before 10 a.m. in front of a home on Crystal Street in East New York. The extent of their injuries wasn't immediately clear, but the sources say both are expected to survive.
