Cops: Port Richmond teen allegedly stabs 65-year-old woman

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.—A Port Richmond teen allegedly stabbed a 65-year-old woman multiple times during a purse-snatching incident Tuesday.

The victim was standing at a bus stop on Post Avenue and looking down at her phone when the 14-year-old male, whose name is being withheld because he's a juvenile,  came up from behind and stabbed her three times in the back at approximately 10 p.m., according to allegations in court documents.

The woman was taken to Richmond University Medical Center, West Brighton, police said.

The teen was caught by good Samaritans, according to a law enforcement source.

Police then recovered the gravity knife and pocketbook.


The defendant was arrested a half hour later on Post Avenue and charged with robbery in the first degree, a felony, robbery in the second degree, three accounts of assault, grand larceny in the fourth degree, criminal possession of property in the fifth degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, according to a spokesman for Acting District Attorney Daniel Master.
