Jerry Brown is facing the following charges, murder, attempted murder, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. He's being held at an area hospital. This, after NYPD found a 20-year-old woman's body partially decapitated, with severed fingers, and several stab wounds. A second woman was also injured in the attack. Now during a press conference yesterday, NYPD said it believes the two female victims and their assailant, who is male, all knew each other, but the officials declined to provide other details on the nature of their relationships to one another. Some background here, the police discovered the body after the other victim of the attack left the scene at about 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, stopped the car in the middle of the street. That's when the driver noticed the woman was injured and called 911, reporting an intense amount of bleeding. And that 21-year-old female suffered lacerations to her head and body, and is in critical but stable condition at an area hospital. Now, at the press conference yesterday, the officials said authorities found an axe in a trash compactor at the housing complex. While the axe is part of the investigation, officials have not yet determined it's the murder weapon. Good news here, police found a four-year-old child at the scene inside the Brooklyn apartment. The child was unharmed and is in good medical condition. That child is currently with family members according to the police, Fred.</s>WHITFIELD: Cristina Alesci, thank you so much.
