A 42-year-old Bronx woman was killed and her 16-year-old son was hospitalized following a bloody stabbing early Saturday, police said.
The attacker, believed to be the woman’s boyfriend, fled the scene in a construction worker’s outfit and was still being sought by authorities.
The bloodshed began around 6:40 a.m. when the suspect attacked the woman and her son inside an apartment on Sherman Ave. near E. 163rd St. in the Concourse section of the Bronx.
Cops called to the scene found the woman bleeding from stab wounds to the neck and chest, officials said. Her teenage son was suffering from stab wounds to his neck and back.
EMS took both victims to Lincoln Hospital, where the woman died. Her name was not immediately disclosed as cops track down her relatives.
The attacker fled the apartment and changed into a reflective construction vest and hardhat before he ran off down E. 163rd St.
Cops were scouring the area for surveillance footage that can help them locate the stabber.
Saturday’s killing is the second homicide to take place in the 44th Precinct this year, officials said.
As of Feb. 22, murders in the city have dropped nearly 42%, from 48 this time last year to 28, according to NYPD statistics.
