Upon their arrival, they discovered a 38-year-old woman from California with several stab wounds on her back and a cut on her right arm. The victim, who was shopping alongside her husband at the moment, was assaulted in a bathroom on the seventh floor in what officials characterized as a random event.

The injured individual was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where her condition was stabilized.
