Police arrested a man who stabbed a 57-year-old woman in the face early Friday morning at the World Trade Center Memorial, cops said.
Just before 2 a.m. Amir Thompson walked up to the victim near Liberty St. and Greenwich St. in lower Manhattan and reportedly said, “I know you from somewhere,” before punching her and then stabbing her with a knife in the cheek and right shoulder, according to police.
Police officers nearby saw what happened and arrested Thompson.
Before he was arrested, Thompson, 23, menaced the officers with the knife and said, “What are you going to do?” according to a police source. One of the officers pulled his gun and Thompson dropped the knife, according to the source.
EMS transported the woman to Bellevue Hospital in serious condition.
Thompson was residing at the Bowery Mission on Lafayette St., according to police. He is charged with assault, weapons possession and menacing, plus attempting to assault an officer, police said.
