A woman was punched, stabbed and robbed of her cell phone in an early morning attack near Northwest 70th Street and 27th Avenue on Monday, according to Miami-Dade deputies. The unknown male suspect brandished a knife during the assault, which was reported around 5:53 a.m., before fleeing the area on foot.
According to NBC 6 South Florida, deputies say the man approached the woman, punched her, then stabbed her before taking her phone and running off. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived at the scene and transported the woman to a hospital. Her current medical condition has not been released, and investigators have not made the victim’s identity public.
No Arrests Yet in Gladeview Case
No arrests have been made in the case as of Monday’s report, and no physical description of the suspect has been released publicly by investigators.

Responding personnel are referred to as deputies rather than officers because the county’s police force has undergone a structural change. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officially replaced the Miami-Dade Police Department in January 2025, when Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz was sworn in as the county’s first elected sheriff in nearly 60 years, per Miami-Dade County records.
