The good Samaritan who helped a woman after she was randomly attacked in Queens<\/a> is speaking out.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old mother of three was stabbed as she was walking to her bus stop Monday morning by 23rd Avenue and 94th Street.<\/p>\n

Video shows the suspect appear to follow the woman<\/a>. While she stands on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street, the suspect comes up behind her and stabs her multiple times.<\/p>\n

“As I was walking my dog, I heard a scream,” said the good Samaritan, who did not want to be identified. “[She] was saying, ‘I’ve been stabbed! I’ve been stabbed!'”<\/p>\n

After she made it across the street, the man says he called 911.<\/p>\n

“Originally, I thought it was a disagreement between boyfriend and girlfriend, but then once I saw her bleeding out, I was like, this poor girl,” he said.<\/p>\n

He then waited with her until first responders arrived.<\/p>\n

“She had a white sweater on, and there was a very large patch of blood,” he said. “I mean, I’m pretty sure if it’s that big of a stain, you’re probably fighting for your life at that point.”<\/p>\n

Police said the victim suffered a punctured lung and four stab wounds that required 11 stitches, and she remains in the hospital. In a phone interview with CBS News New York on Wednesday, she said she was thankful for the man’s help.<\/p>\n

The good Samaritan hopes others would do the same.<\/p>\n

“If something happens to someone, just help them out,” he said.<\/p>\n

Luis Emmanuel Valencia Ponce, 18, has been charged with attempted murder and assault<\/a> in connection to the attack. He is due back in court Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The good Samaritan who helped a woman after she was randomly attacked in Queens is speaking out.
