NEW YORK CITY — A 43-year-old woman has been arrested and charged after she stabbed a photographer who had accidentally taken a picture of her in the West Village last month.

Magdalene Lyngdoh was arrested on Thursday and charged with second-degree assault in connection with the May 5 stabbing of a 36-year-old man, police announced.

The incident happened around 4:20 p.m. in front of 204 Varick Street, police said.

The 43-year-old woman fled the scene and was captured on surveillance video entering the Houston Street subway station.

The victim sustained minor injuries but refused medical attention at the scene.
