Sanyia Spain, 19, said that attacker made advances towards her and her sister Samyia and violently retaliated when they declined
Early Sunday morning in New York’s Park Slope neighborhood, 19-year-old twins Samyia and Sanyia Spain were stabbed by an unknown assailant following an altercation. The sisters were taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist hospital, where Samyia died and Sanyia was released after being treated for her injuries.
The twins had been at a family game night when they decided to walk along with their brother to the store Slope Natural Plus for a snack, according to Sanyia. After Samyia refused to give her phone number to the unknown man, who appeared drunk, he became irate, Sanyia said. He argued with the teens before leaving the bodega and returning minutes later.
The employee working at the bodega kicked the man and his associates out and locked the door behind them. Later, when the Spain sisters’ crew prepared to depart, the employee unlocked the door, let them out and locked the door behind them. “He had a knife in his hand and was saying: ‘I’m gonna stab y’all in the face,’” Sanyia told the Post. “I’m telling everyone to back up. And he pushed little Samyia to the ground.”
