Brooklyn Jogger Critically Stabbed on Shore Parkway Greenway While Training

Katie Suarez, 28, was stabbed twice in the neck on Friday evening while on an evening training run along the Belt Parkway eastbound bike path in the Bath Beach neighbourhood of Brooklyn. She was attacked around 8 p.m. near Bay 17th Street. When she did not return home, her father went looking for her and found her at the scene. She was rushed to hospital in critical condition. The NYPD released an image of Suarez on Sunday as part of an appeal for witnesses, asking anyone who saw her between 7:56 p.m. and 8:12 p.m. along the path between Bay 8th Street and Bay 17th Street to come forward. No suspect had been identified and no arrests made as of Sunday. The stabbing drew widespread attention partly because it occurred while the annual NYC Marathon was under way just miles away, highlighting safety concerns along the city's running paths.
