‘There Is No Hatred': Woman Recovering From Garden Shears Stabbing
"This is an individual with a severe illness, so there is no hatred, there is no anger," said Amy Watts, the mother of Kylie Watts."The message she wants to get out, as well, is to make change, whether through voting, in donation, in volunteer work. In whatever sense you can do, just to support addressing this crisis so that we can all walk the streets safely."
The crime occurred in an area with many businesses and pedestrian traffic. The attacker and victim do not know each other, police said. After the stabbing, the attacker continued walking north and approached a couple waiting at a bus stop, police said. He asked them for a cigarette light, and when the woman said"No" he threw a full jar of pickles at her, striking her in the shoulder, according to the LAPD's statement.
