On Sunday, May 12, 2024, at approximately 4:37 am, the Clarkstown Police Department responded to a distress call reporting a domestic assault on Spring Brook Rd. in Nanuet. Upon arrival, officers encountered a chaotic scene involving two victims with stab wounds.
The male victim, aged 33, reported that he had been stabbed by his ex-girlfriend, who had fled the area. He further informed officers that a 29-year-old female had also sustained stab wounds during the altercation, which took place in the vestibule of the address.
