A 47-year-old mom was stabbed to death in the hallway of her Harlem apartment building early Monday, police said.
The victim was stabbed all over her body in a third-floor hallway of the six-story building on W. 129th St. near St. Nicholas Terrace about 4:25 a.m., cops said. She was confronted by the killer when she got off the elevator on her floor, according to police sources.

The building’s super said the victim was a mother of four, with two of her kids, ages 7 and 14, still living at home and two adult sons who live elsewhere.
The victim shared the apartment with her mother, with the family living in the building for decades.

“She was a very nice person,” the distraught super said.
“I knew her for a long time. Her mother used to watch my son when my son was little.”

“I saw her on the cameras when the problem happened,” he said. “I don’t want to talk about that.”
