SPRING VALLEY, NY — A 30-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with a violent stabbing that occurred earlier this month in the heart of Spring Valley.

According to the Spring Valley Police Department, officers responded around 1:15 a.m. on August 19 to a report of a stabbing near 11 E. Church Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male victim suffering from multiple lacerations and a stab wound. The victim was transported in critical condition to Westchester Medical Center by Spring Hill Ambulance.

After several days of investigation, police identified Shanice Ramsay, a Spring Valley resident, as a suspect in the assault. On August 25, officers attempted to arrest Ramsay, who reportedly resisted and engaged in a brief struggle before being taken into custody.

During the arrest, police say Ramsay was found in possession of a quantity of fentanyl.

She now faces a series of charges, including:

  • Assault in the First Degree (Class B Felony)

  • Attempted Robbery in the First Degree (Class B Felony)

  • Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)

  • Obstructing Governmental Administration (Class A Misdemeanor)

  • Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

  • Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)

Ramsay was arraigned before Judge Mellion at the Spring Valley Justice Court, where bail was set at $5,000 cash, $10,000 secured bond, or $20,000 partially secured bond. She was later remanded to the Rockland County Jail.

The condition of the victim has not been updated as of Thursday morning.

Authorities emphasize that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
