A woman was stabbed in her back and cut on her arm in what appeared to be a random attack inside Macy’s flagship Herald Square store, according to police.
The incident occurred just after 3 p.m. Thursday at the iconic flagship location in Manhattan, police said. The victim suffered stab wounds to her back and was cut on her arm in an attack the police sources said was completely unprovoked.
The 38-year-old woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where she was expected to survive.
Hours later, police said an arrest had been made in the attack. Kerri Aherne, of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, was arrested, and the 43-year-old faces charges of attempted murder, assault and weapon possession. Attorney information for Aherne was not immediately available.
