On Monday afternoon, a woman working at Bath 21 Laundromat and Cleaner in Brooklyn was violently attacked. It was reported that a man, who was apparently a customer, stabbed the woman in a fit of rage because his laundry had not been completed yet. The incident took place just before 2pm and was witnessed by the New York Police Department. According to the owner of the laundromat, the attacker had dropped off his laundry in the morning and returned in the afternoon to carry out the brutal act.
The victim, who is said to be about 50 years old, was stabbed several times and was immediately taken to Lutheran Medical in serious condition. Thankfully, she is now in a stable condition, although her name has not been released to the public at this time. The attacker managed to escape on foot and was last seen heading north on 21st Avenue by Benson Avenue. The only description provided of him was that he was wearing a gray shirt and white sneakers. His identity remains unknown.
Photos taken by the New York Post show the aftermath of the attack, with yellow crime tape cordoning off the laundromat and a broken knife blade with blood stains on the ground. The entrance to the business was also blocked off, causing concern and fear among the community. As of Monday evening, no arrests had been made in connection to the incident.
This incident is eerily similar to another stabbing that occurred just over a month ago at a laundromat in the Bronx. The suspect was seen carrying shirts as he entered the establishment and then proceeded to stab two men before fleeing. Sadly, one of the victims did not survive the attack and the other, a 47-year-old homeless man, is now in stable condition. The motive for this senseless act of violence is still unknown.
In a separate incident in Quincy, Illinois back in July 2023, a suspect wearing a bunny onesie was caught on CCTV footage breaking into Winners Wash Laundromat and stealing items. It's disturbing to see that even a place where people go to do their laundry can become a target for such violent and unpredictable acts. We can only hope that the authorities will be able to identify and apprehend the suspects in all of these cases to bring justice for the victims and their families.
