Attack on Sixth Avenue With A Butcher Knife

This morning on Park Slope Parents I read about this incident on Sixth Avenue and Lincoln Place. Read on...

I just read about this and don't remember seeing it posted here and I thought it would be helpful for us all to know this happened and do be alert in general. Below is a message from brooklynian.com about a random attack on 6th avenue on Lincoln. The comments suggest that it wasn't actually a butcher knife but it was a violent attack and that the victim is now fine. Apologies if people are already aware of this and I am just a day late.

hi all

i got the following email from a coworker. this happened to her friend
on wednesday, and i haven't found any other info about it here or
elsewhere online. not to cause unnecessary alarm, but i thought i
would pass along the warning. stay safe.

Subject: park slope attack

A good friend's girlfriend was attacked by a mentally ill man with a
butcher knife on Wednesday walking along 6th Ave in Park Slope. She's
going to survive, but it was bad. My friend asked me to warn anyone I
know around Park Slope because they think he's still in the
neighborhood. She was just walking along the street talking on her
cell phone and he attacked her without a word. I think the police
have an idea who he is and that he's extremely ill. They say he's
probably under 30, slender, about 5'9", and was wearing checkered
shorts, a white tshirt and gray sweatshirt. And they think he's
latino, but I never trust them to get

that right.
