A 29-year-old woman was found slashed inside 191 Orchard Street shortly before 11:00 this morning. Cops responded to the scene and discovered the as-yet-unidentified victim in the second-floor stairwell bleeding heavily from an apparent slash wound to the neck. She was rushed to Beth Israel where she was later pronounced dead.

Investigators reportedly have no description of a suspect.

Said roommate told investigators that he had spoken to her earlier this morning from work, and that she “sounded distraught.” Detectives are seeking the husband for questioning.
