Maxi Park, the 11-year-old girl who police say was slashed in the head by 30-year-old Shaquan Cummings in East Harlem last week, says the incident left her in shock and more worried to go outside.
11-year-old Maxi Park, the victim of a random slashing attack in East Harlem last Friday, is hospitalized and speaking out after the shocking incident. "Right after he cut me, I was like, so in shock," Park told FOX 5 NY's Lisa Evers. On May 10, Park was shopping with her mother at 116th Street and Lexington Avenue just before 2:30 p.m., when she was attacked.
"The vicious attack is just one of a growing number of felony assaults that are happening at a rate of roughly 3 an hour in New York City, according to John Jay College Professor Dr. Christopher Herrmann. "Assaults up 15% last week, and that's a significant jump," Herrmann said. "We are getting into the summertime months when we typically see violent crime go up, almost as much as 30%," Hermann said.
