January 3rd 2025.
On a seemingly normal day in New York City, a man named Michael Blount was taken into custody by authorities on charges of attempted murder. According to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, Blount had allegedly launched a vicious attack on his ex-girlfriend in front of her two teenage daughters at a busy subway station on December 29th.
The victim, a 37-year-old woman, was waiting for the A train at the 125th Street station when Blount, 29, reportedly approached her and slashed her neck with a razor blade. When his initial attempt failed, he proceeded to stab her in the face and violently pushed her onto the subway tracks. Fortunately, one of the victim's daughters intervened and pulled her mother to safety, preventing a potentially fatal outcome. The incident was captured on surveillance footage and shared on social media, sparking outrage and concern among the public.
Prior to the attack, Blount had attempted to communicate with the victim as she and her children were shopping at a nearby deli. However, she did not respond and left the store. Blount then followed the family to the train station, most likely to pinpoint their location. The surveillance footage also revealed that he had returned to the deli to purchase the razor blade used in the attack.
District Attorney Alvin Bragg expressed his shock and disgust at the heinous crime, stating, "As alleged, Michael Blount brutally slashed his ex-girlfriend before pushing her onto the train tracks in front of her teenage daughters. Despite what must have been a terrifying attack, one of her daughters was able to pull her mother from the tracks, likely saving her life."
Blount also had a history of stalking and harassing the victim and her children with incessant phone calls and text messages. He has been charged with attempted murder in the second degree, and the prosecution will be handled by Assistant District Attorney Charlotte Armour of the Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Bureau.
In a disturbing twist, it was revealed that Blount had a criminal record, including a 2013 conviction for raping a 12-year-old girl. At the time of the rape, Blount was only 19 years old. Shockingly, he was out on parole at the time of the recent attack, raising questions about the effectiveness of the justice system in preventing repeat offenses.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and the need for stricter measures to protect victims and potential victims.
