Police said officers responded to a reported stabbing at a residence on Vine Street in Central Nyack at approximately 11:50 p.m. on May 25, 2026.

Upon arrival, officers entered the home and found an adult male sitting on a bed suffering from stab wounds to his back and upper chest. Investigators said the victim told officers he had been involved in an earlier argument with the suspect around 11 a.m., during which he was allegedly stabbed in the back.

The victim reportedly returned to the residence around 11 p.m. and woke the suspect, leading to a second altercation. During that dispute, police said the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim again, causing serious injuries and significant bleeding.

Members of the Nyack Community Ambulance Corps treated the victim at the scene before transporting him to a local hospital for additional medical care.

Police identified the suspect as Catherine Doran, 64, of Central Nyack. She was taken into custody and charged with second-degree assault, a Class D felony, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor.
