Queens Couple Slashed By Woman They Told To Stop Blocking Door: NYPD

QUEENS, NY — A woman slashed a Queens couple who asked her to stop blocking the door to their home, police said.

The surly slasher ran off after the Aug. 31 fracas, leaving a man and woman bleeding in front of their Woodside home, authorities said.

The couple, who are both 53 years old, saw the as-yet-unidentified woman at the entrance to their home near 37th Road and 69th Street about 7:40 p.m., NYPD officials said.

She didn't take kindly to their request that she move — police said she started to argue and flashed an "unknown object."

The war of words led to a melee, which left the man with a minor cut to his arm and the woman with a slash to her chest, police said.

The woman was last seen hoofing it down 70th Street, authorities said.

The couple were treated for their cuts by medics at their home, police said.

Police said the woman is roughly 5 feet 5 inches tall and in her mid to late 20s, with a tattoo on her right arm. She was last with her hair in a ponytail, wearing a white or gray T-shirt and dark pants.
