Brooklyn Jogger On Life Support After Brutal Waterfront Attack

BROOKLYN, NY— A 28-year-old Brooklyn woman remained on life support Sunday after someone stabbed her twice in the neck while she jogged along the the Shore Parkway Greenway Friday evening, according to a police report.

Katie Suarez, of Gravesend, was running near Bay 17th Street when the attack occurred.

No arrests had been made.

Suarez left her job at a TD Bank branch inside Caesar’s Bay Shopping Center, a waterfront retail complex in Brooklyn, around 6:30 p.m. Friday, according to the police report.

She soon met her mother near the shopping center, changed into running clothes and handed her work clothes to her mother before heading west along the waterfront path.

Around 8 p.m., her father called to ask where she was.

He was near the bank, and Suarez told him she was about a half-mile away — a distance she could cover in roughly five minutes, according to the report.

Her father called again. When she did not answer, he went to the waterfront to look for her and found her with two stab wounds to her neck.

Emergency responders took Suarez to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where doctors treated her in critical condition, according to police.
