The woman, identified as Cecilia M., survived the attack despite suffering lung injuries. The attack “was so savage” that the alleged victimizer even cut his throat, police said. The surveillance cameras in the area caught the attack on the woman.

A uniformed woman said that the videos show how the suspect waited for the victim to get out of a taxi to attack her in front of her house. The authorities confirmed that the couple had a history of domestic abuse. (I)
