Shane Clark followed the woman to a nearby restaurant. He explained:

“I ran up to the commotion, and I could see that she was bleeding heavily all over her body, and so I ran back, I grabbed a trauma bag, and at that point, she was sprinting down the block. I think she was panicked, more than anything else.

“She was very disoriented and very panicked. There was a little bit of a language barrier.”

The New York Post reports that the woman had endured around six to eight cuts from her husband’s meat cleaver attack. After the firefighter and police were able to calm the woman down, paramedics were called to the scene.

The woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Although her condition worsened shortly after she arrived, authorities believe that she will survive.
