Berkeley: Elderly woman's throat slashed in apparently random assault by African girl
  Residents of the affluent and picturesque Berkeley hills were stunned Thursday to learn that an elderly woman walking by the Rose Garden had her throat slashed by a young woman in an apparently random attack. The 75-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was walking with her husband along the 1200 block of Euclid Avenue near their home -- in a verdant, low-crime area of graceful houses and stunning views -- at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday when the attempted homicide occurred, Berkeley police said.
 Without saying anything, a woman believed to be 17 to 20 years old hacked the victim's neck with a knife and then, accompanied by another young woman, got into a light blue BMW M3 convertible and sped away, Officer Joe Okies said. The victim did not know her attackers," Okies said. "No words were exchanged between the victim and her attackers prior to the stabbing.''
Police described the slasher as African American, 5-feet 5-inches to 5-feet 10-inches tall, with black hair and thin build and wearing a gray sweatshirt and sweatpants. Her accomplice was reportedly the same age, 5-feet to 5-feet 5-inches tall with brown hair. "The random and violent nature of this attack is very concerning to us,'' homicide Sgt. Howard Nonoguchi said in a statement. - (NNN Norcal) - (J BuckMeister) |
