Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the 58-year-old suspect attacked the elderly woman below the Ocean Parkway Q train station around 1:30 p.m., not long after the woman, a stranger to the suspect, had tried to intervene in a separate dispute the suspect had had with a shop owner in a nearby store.

The suspect wrestled the woman to the ground, and she suffered bruises in the altercation, authorities said. The 24-year-old police officer, who heard the commotion while on the subway platform, descended to the street and tried to arrest the suspect, but the man pulled out the hunting knife and stabbed the officer in the neck, Bratton said....

How does one get stabbed in the neck with an eleven inch hunting knife yet need only a few stitches. Thank God, it just seems unlikely.
I guess only in horror movies does a knife go straight through the neck from the side.

“Why no mention of race I wonder?”

maybe NBC NY doesn’t want to be seen reinforcing a stereotype.
