December 10, 2023Visitor stabs 2 nurses, medical resident in NJ hospital’s pediatric ICU: Police
NEWARK, N.J. – A visitor seeing a patient at a New Jersey hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit stabbed a medical resident and two nurses Friday morning, officials said.
Police say that at around 7 a.m., a female visitor picked up some kind of cutting instrument following a dispute inside Newark Beth Israel Hospital, and stabbed the three victims.
The victims suffered minor lacerations, and the alleged attacker, who police identified as 37-year-old Firdousi Abdul-Hakim, was taken into custody.
No patients or family members were injured during this incident, the hospital said in a statement.
A mother of a patient being treated at the hospital told FOX 5 NY that only parents and grandparents are allowed inside, and when she arrived at the hospital at the same time as the stabbing, no mention was made of the incident.
Abdul-Hakim faces several charges, including aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, according to Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé.
This incident remains under investigation.
