Investigators say the woman was arguing with a group of people near W. 183rd St and Grand Ave. on Sunday at around 2:34 a.m.

Police say a 37-year-old man tried to intervene and that’s when the attacker hit the woman in the head with an unknown object and cut her arm. The suspect didn’t stop there, he then stabbed the man multiple times in the back.

The attacker is believed to be a man, who got away in a dark colored SUV driving eastbound on Evelyn Place.

He was last seen wearing a multi-colored shirt, white tank top and light-colored shorts.

The victims were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and are in stable condition.
