Woman fatally stabbed inside a park in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, police say
A woman died after being attacked inside a park early Tuesday in Brooklyn, police said.
It's the second homicide to happen in three days in the Crown Heights neighborhood.
Officers said a fight broke out between a man and a woman around 12:40 a.m. in Lincoln Terrace Park. The argument escalated into violence with the man stabbing the 30-year-old woman multiple times.
Paramedics rushed her to Brookdale Hospital, where she died.
Police have been focusing their investigation around a set of park benches and a nearby grassy area where a lot of trash and personal belongings were left behind. They were also seen questioning a few people who may have been in the area.
It's unclear if the victim and her attacker knew each other.
Parkgoers say they often see officers patrolling in the daytime hours, but safety becomes an issue at night.
Resident Noelle Allen said she doesn't walk her dog late at night or early in the morning when it's dark.
"I've heard of a lot of different things going on out here in this park," she said.
Police are still looking for the suspect, who they say was wearing no shirt and gray pants. So far, no arrests have been made.
