A woman was stabbed to death inside her Chinatown apartment early Sunday, police and sources said.
A neighbor across the hallway on the top floor of 111 Chrystie Street called 911 about 4:30 a.m. Sunday after hearing the 35-year-old victim screaming, law-enforcement sources said.
NYPD cops arrived at the scene and found a man inside the apartment who tried to flee via the fire escape, before barricading himself inside the apartment, according to law-enforcement sources.The 911 call was prompted by “a disturbance in the apartment.”“There was a male inside refusing to exit the apartment,” a police spokesman said Sunday.
The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit was then dispatched to the lower Manhattan crime scene and entered the apartment, where they discovered a man covered in blood, and a 35-year-old woman in the bathroom tub “bleeding from multiple wounds to the body,” an NYPD spokesman said.Cops have not yet recovered a weapon and are investigating the scene.Seth Gottfried for NY PostPolice arrested the suspect outside the aprtment.
A police spokesperson told The Post that “it appears” the stabber “may have followed the victim into the building,” and that he may have been a stranger. Cops have not yet recovered a weapon and are investigating the scene. The suspect, who was apprehended about 6 a.m., was taken to Bellevue Hospital, police said.
