NEW YORK — An Amazon employee was attacked at work, stabbed in the face by a suspect who approached the 23-year-old victim from behind, didn’t say a word, and slashed him from his lip to his earlobe. , according to police reports.
Surveillance video captures the attack that left William Herrera, a young father from Yonkers, scarred for life.
Herrera says he was delivering Amazon packages to an apartment building in Valentine Avenue in the Bedford section of the Bronx when he was attacked two weeks ago.
Grainy footage shows the suspect dressed in black approaching Herrera on the sidewalk and striking her right hand with an object. The two fight. Herrera moves to run around the Amazon truck and the suspect follows him out of sight.
Herrera, bleeding profusely from his face, calls for an officer until an ambulance arrives.
Now he has a six-inch scar.
“I have to look in the mirror every day and see this on my face,” Herrera said. “I’ve never had a stitch in my entire life and the first time I got a stitch, they gave me 110 points?”
The 23-year-old says his attacker seemed hell-bent on hurting him, rather than potentially lifting something from the unlocked Amazon van behind him.
“My truck was wide open. He could have taken the whole truck if he wanted to,” Herrera said. “He didn’t take anything. I guess he just wanted to cut me.”
Herrera says he is now worried about his own safety when he is in the Bronx, and fears the stabber may encounter another unsuspecting New Yorker.
His wife, Lauren Soriano, who is pregnant with their second child, said: “I just hope they catch him. Then we can get justice.”
The couple also has a 2-year-old son.
