At approximately 7 p.m. on Nov. 22, the victim was walking in the 9000 block of Holman Road Northwest when she noticed a male who appeared to be following her.

The victim went into a nearby gas station and exited a short time later. She saw the male again, but it appeared as if he was going to enter the store. As she crossed the street, she noticed that the male was behind her again and had not entered the store.

The victim slowed her walk and then stopped to let the male go past. He walked past but then also stopped. As she attempted to walk by him, the male grabbed her around the neck and chest from behind and then stabbed her with an unknown object in the lower back.

The victim struggled to get away, falling out into the street in front of a witness who was driving by on Holman Road. The witness stopped to assist, and the suspect walked off southbound on Holman Road.

A K-9 track for the suspect was attempted but not successful. The victim was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries from the stabbing.

A small pocket knife with a broken blade was recovered from the ground near the victim. The suspect is not known to the victim and has not been located.
