The woman who slashed a 10-year-old Manhattan boy in his own apartment was looking for the child’s father, police sources said Sunday.
Police have identified the suspect as a 46-year-old woman who had a relationship with the victim’s father, sources say.
She remains on the loose after slashing the boy after he opened the door to his Upper West Side apartment in the Frederick Douglass Houses on West 104th Street on Saturday afternoon.
The young victim was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Investigators say he answered a knock on the door yesterday around 2:30 p.m. and told the suspect his father was not home.
“He says no and she grabs him and cuts his face with a razor,” police told The Post.
