Woman brutally stabbed multiple times in unprovoked attack at Sonic Drive-In; suspect still on the loose

A woman who was brutally stabbed multiple times last month at a Sonic Drive-In is speaking out about the unprovoked attack, KFOR-TV reported.

Linda Hollrah drove to the fast-food restaurant on NE 23rd Street in Oklahoma City to pick up her order, the station said.

'I remember thinking over and over and saying over and over, "Why did this happen to me?"'

When she parked her car, Hollrah's attacker stabbed her through the window multiple times, KFOR said.

"Before I knew it, he just came straight up to my car, said no words to me, and just attacked me and just kept stabbing and stabbing," Hollrah said to the station.

The attack left bloodstains in her car and in the parking lot, KFOR said.

"It's hard to even still piece together kind of what my brain was going through, except just to fight for my life," she added to the station.

The attack left her with numerous injuries, KFOR reported.

"I was stabbed once in my kneecap, three times in my forearm, once on my inner, two on my outer thigh, and then once in my upper abdomen, which ended up causing a nick in my liver that they had to repair for internal bleeding," Hollrah explained to the station.

KFOR, citing the incident report, said Sonic told police that the restaurant's surveillance cameras were not working at the time.

Police instead are relying on video of the suspect before and after the attack that a nearby traffic camera recorded, the station said.

But so far no arrests have been made, KFOR noted, and police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers.

"I remember thinking over and over and saying over and over, 'Why did this happen to me?' Which, unfortunately, you know, nobody can answer and maybe will never be answered," Hollrah shared with the station.

KFOR added that Hollrah has been unable to work during her recovery: "It's stressful thinking about the mountain of debt that this is going to leave me in and having to pay for some things that my insurance probably won't cover — very specialized things that I'm going to need," she told the station.

Hollrah's sister started a GoFundMe to assist her with expenses. As of Friday afternoon, $14,580 has been raised; the goal amount is $24,000.

"For a hard-working single mother, seeking out help isn't always the easiest thing, so I asked Linda's permission to invite our family and friends to support her in this way," the GoFundMe states. "Any and all contributions are appreciated more than you know, as Linda and our family try to move forward from this senseless act of violence."

Blood allegedly found in hotel room Nick Reiner checked into hours after arguing with father Rob Reiner

Blood allegedly was found in a hotel room Nick Reiner checked into hours after arguing with his famed moviemaker father, Rob Reiner, at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, TMZ reported.

Nick Reiner, 32, is in custody with no bail after police said he killed Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.

When hotel staff entered Nick Reiner's room later on Sunday morning, they found the shower 'full of blood' and blood on the bed, TMZ reported.

The night before the Reiners were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, California, home, Nick Reiner's behavior alarmed guests at the party, New York Times reported, citing two attendees who asked not to be named in order to maintain relationships.

Hollywood icon Rob Reiner, wife found dead in their home; police are calling it a homicide

Hollywood icon Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Brentwood, California, home Sunday in what police are calling a homicide, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Law enforcement sources told the paper that a family member was being interviewed in connection with the deaths.

'No one has been detained; no one is being questioned as a suspect.'

A spokesperson for the Reiner family confirmed the deaths Sunday evening, the Times said: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

A source not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation but who reportedly has knowledge of it confirmed that there was no sign of forced entry into the home in the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, the Times reported. The source also told the paper that the Reiners had injuries consistent with a stabbing.

LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said Sunday that detectives were working to secure a search warrant before launching a "thorough" investigation inside and outside the home, the Times said.

"At this time, the Los Angeles Police Department is not seeking anyone as a suspect or as a person of interest ... and we will not be doing that until we conduct our investigation and move forward," Hamilton said, according to the paper. He said many family members would be interviewed but that "no one has been detained; no one is being questioned as a suspect," the Times added.

Hamilton confirmed that the person who initially reported the incident was at the house, but that person's identity wasn't being released at this time, the paper said.

Margaret Stewart of the Los Angeles Fire Department told the Times that the department was called to the Reiner home around 3:30 p.m. for medical aid, and the two bodies were found in the home.

Reiner was first famous for his portrayal of Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the legendary 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," which also starred Carroll O’Connor as Archie Bunker.

He then gained wide acclaim over the years for directing movies such as “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride,” “This Is Spinal Tap,” “Stand by Me," and “A Few Good Men."

Reiner also was not quiet about his far-left politics, and he often railed against President Donald Trump and Republicans.

Just a few months ago, fellow left-winger Bill Maher tried to talk some sense into Reiner during Maher's "Club Random" podcast, insisting that Reiner and other leftists have to learn to communicate with political opponents. Reiner countered that "if somebody says, 'Two plus two is four,' and the other guy says, 'No, it's not,' how do you begin the discussion?”
Last year, Reiner called Trump "the Convicted Felon" in an X rant saying then-President Joe Biden should end his re-election bid: "It’s time to stop f**king around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down." The X post has since been deleted.
Reiner in 2020 posted on X that "Donald Trump is actively trying to kill our children,” according to the Washington Examiner. But that post also has been deleted.
In 2019, he posted the following on X: "Every elected Republican knows that this President is guilty of countless Impeachable offenses. But they, along with many White Evangelicals & White Supremacists have made a pact with [Vladimir] Putin. But unlike a pact with the Devil, this one can be unsigned." That post also has been deleted.
In 2018 Reiner blamed a government shutdown on the Republican Party's "racism" and added that the GOP is "frightened to death of the browning of America." That X post also has been deleted.
Reiner in 2017 posted on X that the "fight to save democracy" from Trump "is now an all out war"; he added a "treason" hashtag in the post focusing on Russian collusion. That post also has been deleted.
Just after Trump's 2016 election win, Reiner called him a "moron" and noted that Trump's victory means "we are fighting the last big major battle of the Civil War."

Black male stabs white male. But victim uses racial slur AFTER stabbing — and Portland jury issues 'inconceivable' verdict.

A black male recently admitted in court that he stabbed a white male over the summer, but a Portland jury acquitted the black male after learning the victim uttered a racial slur — and spoke the word following the stabbing.

Gary Edwards was charged with second-degree assault for knifing Gregory Howard Jr. on Northwest 5th Avenue in Portland's Old Town neighborhood on the morning of July 7, OregonLive reported last week.

'Beyond inconceivable.'

A conviction could have handed Edwards a sentence of five years and 10 months in state prison, OregonLive said.

However, even though Edwards admitted on the witness stand to the stabbing, he said it was self-defense due to Howard's aggression, the outlet said.

Edwards testified that Howard yelled the racist slur as soon as he saw him, the outlet reported, adding that Howard denied the claim.

Thug attacks mother walking her toddler in stroller, cops say; 10 days later — on Thanksgiving — he's accused of even worse

An 18-year-old New Jersey male is accused of approaching a woman from behind while she was walking her 2-year-old in a stroller — and then putting her in a chokehold and throwing her to the ground.

The incident took place Nov. 17 on Pinewood Road, Howell Township Police said. Howell is a little over 30 minutes east of Trenton.

'Off with his head!!! Do this the old school way; we don't need people in ... society like that!!!!'

According to News 12 New Jersey, police said the suspect ran off after the woman screamed for help.

Jaden Thompson of Freehold was criminally charged Tuesday for endangering the welfare of a child (3rd degree) and simple assault (Disorderly Persons Offense), police said.

But there was no need to lock up Thompson.

Turns out he already was behind bars in the Ocean County Jail as of Nov. 29 on unrelated criminal charges, police said.

What else is he accused of doing?

According to Jackson Police, just after 11:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving, officers responded to the Paragon apartments at 1020 Larsen Road for a report of a female who had been stabbed by an ex-boyfriend. Jackson is about three miles west of Howell Township.

A family member of the stabbing victim told police that Thompson was the ex-boyfriend and that he carried out the stabbing.

It was determined that Thompson was arguing with the victim when he stabbed her in the lower abdomen, police said, adding that he then fled the area in a vehicle believed to be a black 2012 Nissan Altima.

After a two-day search with the assistance of U.S. Marshalls, the suspect was located in Edison, police said. Edison is almost an hour northeast of Trenton.

Police said Thompson crashed the car following a vehicle chase. After he fled the crash scene, police quickly apprehended him and transferred him to the custody of Jackson Police.

In connection with the stabbing incident, police said Thompson was charged with:

Attempted murder (1st degree)
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (2nd degree)
Endangering the welfare of a child (2nd degree)
Possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose (3rd degree)
Unlawful possession of a weapon (4th degree)
Criminal trespass

Some commenters under the Jackson Police Department's Facebook post about the stabbing seemed as though they've had about enough:

"Sad that we have come to the crossroads," one commenter wrote, adding that "the people in town need to really take a stand against this degradation of our community."
"Hope he rots in 666," another user said.
"Off with his head!!!" another commenter exclaimed. "Do this the old school way; we don't need people in ... society like that!!!!"

NYC subway rider pays brutal price after asking fellow passenger to stop talking loudly on cell phone

A New York City subway rider was stabbed in the stomach after asking his attacker to stop talking loudly on his cell phone aboard a train Saturday morning, police told the New York Post.

The attacker allegedly responded to the request by punching the 54-year-old victim several times in the face before stabbing him in the gut, police told the Post.

'I guarantee you they were being loud on purpose to have a reason to stab someone.'

The attack occurred aboard an E train at the Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer station in Queens around 11 a.m., police noted to the paper.

The attacker jumped off the train at the station and was on the loose, police told the Post, while the victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition.

The victim's daughter told the paper in a follow-up story that more police are needed in the NYC subway system.

“They’re supposed to be on the station,” the daughter, who requested anonymity, told the Post on Sunday. “I don’t really see them as much anymore.”

The paper added that the victim was "heading home from his restaurant gig" when the attack occurred.

“It’s a crazy world we live in,” the daughter told the Post as her father — a waiter — recovers in the hospital.

Commenters on WPIX-TV's Facebook post about the attack agreed:

"Despicable behavior!!!" one commenter declared.
"Sounds about right for NYC," another user said, adding that "NY needs more lenient gun laws for law-abiding citizens."
"I guarantee you they were being loud on purpose to have a reason to stab someone," another commenter wrote.
"F**king animals," another user said.
"This cant be true — remember when [Democrat Gov. Kathy] Hochul said it's safe?!" a commenter reacted with just a bit of sarcasm sprinkled in.
"I can’t anymore," another user lamented. "I just don’t get it."

Stabbing spike?

The Post said the stabbing occurred just a day after a homeless man was charged after being caught on video allegedly slashing two men in their faces on a Queens subway platform last week.

Man enters ER with bloody knife saying serial killer took girlfriend's life. But her mother says she knows 'savage' truth.

A Massachusetts man in September walked into a New Bedford emergency room holding a bloody knife in his hand and claiming that a serial killer had stabbed his girlfriend to death, according to multiple reports. But the man now faces life in prison.

Tyler Baglini, 32, reportedly had a history of mental health issues and substance abuse, according to his attorney. After Baglini allegedly experienced an "episode" on Sept. 20, his girlfriend urged him to get help.

'But I know the truth. I know how savage, how horrific, and how violent his actions were.'

Citing court documents, People magazine reported that Baglini's girlfriend — 31-year-old Kerri Fidalgo — sent a text message to Baglini at 9:57 a.m. Sept. 20 that read: "Tyler, we can talk later. After you get checked out. You need help. You need to get better. You're having an episode and you're paranoid. Everything will be OK, but you need help. I love you. I care about you. Please."

Police said Baglini wrote back: "Goodbye, I really loved you and I forgive you. Time to go to hell; you were the best thing that ever happened to me."

Citing court documents, WPRI-TV reported that Baglini appeared at St. Luke's Hospital at 12:39 p.m. and used a public phone there to call his parents multiple times — as well as Fidalgo twice. Baglini told family and his girlfriend that he was checking himself in for mental health issues — but he didn't and left the hospital at 12:53 p.m., according to court documents.

Prosecutors said Baglini sent a photo of a knife to Fidalgo around 3:40 p.m.

Baglini later that afternoon reportedly staggered into the emergency room of St. Luke's while holding a bloody knife and claiming that a serial killer had stabbed his girlfriend to death.

A prosecutor said Baglini's "kitchen knife" had "blood on the blade," according to WJAR-TV.

WPRI added that Baglini entered the hospital just before 5 p.m. and said the stabbing took place at her Atlantic Street apartment.

Fidalgo's oldest sister, Kaila Whalen, reportedly became alarmed when police showed up that afternoon to do a welfare check on her sister.

"As my Portuguese-speaking grandmother fired questions at me in panic, I brushed her off and ran downstairs to Kerri's apartment, desperate to understand what was happening," Whalen told WPRI. "I had no idea what I was about to walk into. I didn't know I would find my sister lying on her living room floor, motionless, surrounded by her own blood."

Whalen added to WPRI that she remembered seeing her sister's eyes open and her hands raised as if she was trying to protect herself, which Whalen told the station is an image that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Whalen recounted to WPRI, "No one should ever have to find someone they love like that. I was frozen in horror, screaming. My mind was racing, but [my] feet wouldn't move."

Still, she was able to run back upstairs for the officers, who called for backup and began CPR, according to WPRI.

"I remember how frantic and forceful it seemed, like it was hurting her. It was too much to bear, so I dropped to my knees in her kitchen and begged God to spare her life. I have never felt so hopeless — so useless," Whalen recalled to WPRI.

Assistant Bristol County District Attorney Karen O'Sullivan said Fidalgo had been stabbed 14 times in the neck, head, and torso, and her injuries were consistent with attempts to defend herself, according to the Herald News.

Fidalgo was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to the police report.

The Bristol County District Attorney's Office said Baglini was arrested Sept. 20 and charged with murder.

Boston.com reported that Baglini was held overnight at Saint Luke's Hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

Last week at the sentencing hearing, Fidalgo's mother unleashed her fury on Baglini.

"I have watched him sit here in this courtroom, quiet and timid, as if he couldn't possibly have done what he did," Melissa Fidalgo, Kerri's mother, told the judge before sentencing, according to the Boston Globe.

"But I know the truth. I know how savage, how horrific, and how violent his actions were," she continued, according to the Globe. "I hate that he thought he had the right to take my daughter's life. I hate that he took her from us, from the family that loved her so deeply, from the future she was building, and from the world that was brighter because she was in it."

Baglini's attorney, Michael Hussey, said during sentencing that his client has a history of substance abuse and mental health issues that were "probably of little concern to anyone in this room, and probably of little value to this court."

Judge Raffi N. Yessayan responded, "Whatever other issues he may have, he's a batterer. He's a domestic abuser. I look at his record, and that's clear. That's why I didn't let him hide in the corner."

Baglini pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. The judge sentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years, court records show.

Kerri's youngest sister, Jazelle Fidalgo, described her sister as "a mother, role model, protector, and best friend."

"Whenever I needed advice or comfort, she was the person I called," Jazelle told WPRI. "She made me feel safe. She believed in me more than anyone ever could. She pushed me to chase my dreams and see my worth, and to never give up on myself. She was the person who stood by me through everything — my shoulder to cry on and my source of strength when I didn't have any left."

13 thugs chase, stab, beat, rob teen boy on his way home from school in NYC. They make off with his sneakers — worth $350.

A 15-year-old New York City boy spoke out from his hospital bed this week after police said a group of 13 suspects — also teenagers — attacked and stabbed and robbed him on Oct. 22.

Police said the boy was on his way home from school in Jamaica, Queens, when the broad-daylight attack occurred at the intersection of 160th Street and Hillside Avenue, WCBS-TV reported.

'What happened to my son is horrific.'

With his mother by his side, the victim recounted to the station the words of one of his attackers.

"Give me all your clothes, whatever you're wearing, your shoes," the boy recalled one of the mob members telling him, WCBS noted.

He then told the station, "I [started] running. After that, they pushed me and stabbed me."

The vicious attack left the 15-year-old with severe stab wounds, broken bones, bruises — and needing surgery, the station said.

After all that, WCBS said the suspects stole the victim's sneakers — worth $350.

"I was shocked to see my son in this condition," the boy's mother told the station in her native language of Punjabi. "What happened to my son is horrific."

Local activist Japneet Singh told WCBS the attack took place on "a major avenue, major corridor" and that "if that can happen to this boy, it can happen to any of our children. We have to make sure we protect our kids."

While the boy has months of recovery ahead of him — including three surgeries — his mother told the station she hopes those responsible are caught. Meanwhile, she added to WCBS that she's not leaving his side: "Ever since he was attacked, I've been here with him day and night."

Police told WNYW-TV that detectives are reviewing surveillance video from the area to identify those involved.

Those with information about the attack are urged to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477), WNYW said, adding that tips can be submitted confidentially online or by text.

Flight grounded after Indian national allegedly stabs 2 teens with a fork

Lufthansa flight 431 from Chicago to Germany was forced to make an emergency landing in Boston on October 25 after an Indian national allegedly attacked multiple passengers.

The suspect reportedly stabbed two minors, both 17, with a metal fork and slapped a female passenger before being subdued by crew members. The condition of the victims is unclear, but the injuries do not appear to be serious.

He then allegedly 'raised his hand, formed a gun with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and pulled an imaginary trigger.'

According to the Massachusetts District Attorney's Office, the assailant is Praneeth Kumar Usiripalli, a 28-year-old Indian national who was previously admitted to the U.S. on a student visa and who enrolled in a master's program in biblical studies. According to the DA, "Usiripalli presently does not have lawful status in the United States."

The DA report stated that Usiripalli allegedly struck the first victim, who was sleeping, in the shoulder area, then lashed out and attacked the second victim in the back of the head. The crew attempted to subdue him, and he then allegedly "raised his hand, formed a gun with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and pulled an imaginary trigger."

The DA stated that he allegedly managed to slap a female passenger and attempted to slap a crew member before being restrained.

The flight was diverted to Boston Logan International Airport. Immediately upon landing, Usiripalli was taken into custody with the assistance of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations personnel. He has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon while traveling on an aircraft with intent to do bodily harm.

An initial court date has yet to be announced. The incident took place in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, meaning Usiripalli could face 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, as well as deportation if convicted.
