— A man ambushed an elderly woman at random, stabbing her repeatedly in the face and leaving her screaming and bleeding on the sidewalk on a city street Wednesday morning. Investigators said the vicious attack — on an 83-year-old woman — didn’t end with the initial blows to the face. When she fell to the ground, police said, the man climbed on top of her and continued stabbing her. Police said the 83-year-old woman was walking around 11:30 a.m. when a man snuck up behind her and stabbed her repeatedly in the face. “It was a shock.”Demers and some other women in the salon rushed out to help the elderly woman.
