Brave Good Samaritan Stops Subway Stabbing
A 23-year-old woman in Queens narrowly escaped death after being viciously attacked by a panhandler at a subway station. The woman, who remains unnamed, was targeted by Randol Centreres for refusing to give him money, leading to a violent assault that left her with a punctured lung and liver. Despite the severity of her injuries, she managed to survive the ordeal.
The Unprovoked Attack
The victim had just arrived at the Jamaica-Van Wyck subway station when she encountered Centreres, who demanded money from her. When she informed him that she did not have any money, he flew into a rage and attacked her with a knife, inflicting multiple stab wounds on her abdomen and slashing her face. The brutal assault caused significant damage, puncturing her liver and lungs.
Heroic Intervention
Thankfully, the victim was not alone in her harrowing experience. Venezuelan immigrant Alessandro Robles Lino, who was at the station with his children, witnessed the attack and sprang into action. Along with a friend, he chased down Centreres and managed to subdue him before he could escape. Their quick thinking and courage prevented further harm and led to the arrest of the assailant.
Transition words such as ‘despite’, ‘however’, and ‘thankfully’ are used to connect ideas and make the narrative flow smoothly. The presence of a brave Good Samaritan like Alessandro Robles Lino highlights the importance of community solidarity in times of crisis.
