Times Square Attacker Pamela Cisneros Was Neutralized by Police

While Piacenti was walking home from Times Square, he was stabbed in the stomach by 49-year-old attacker Pamela Cisneros. The police shot and neutralized Cisneros, who did not leave the kitchen knives in his hand and turned towards the officers. The attacker's older brother, Patrick Peralta, stated that his brother had received psychological support for years and that he received treatment in the form of monthly injections because he had difficulty taking daily medication, and that he had attempted suicide in the past. She also stated that she experienced postpartum depression after her second child. Police announced that the attack may have been carried out randomly and without any provocation. It was stated that Piacenti, who joined the bank 18 months ago, has a five-month-old daughter. Just four days ago, Piacenti shared a photo of herself on social media, holding her baby in her arms and smiling with her husband, and wrote how happy she was.
