Weeks after an aunt was suspected of stabbing her 4-year-old niece “multiple times” while babysitting her at a New Jersey home, stunning the victim’s father, prosecutors have filed charges for attempted murder and more.
The Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office has said that Paterson cops went to a home near East 24th Street and 10th Avenue on the afternoon of Aug. 23 in response to the report that the 4-year-old girl was stabbed. Authorities said the girl was, in fact, stabbed “multiple times” and was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital.

In an on-camera interview with local ABC affiliate WABC , the girl’s father Faherem LaSane said he was “dumbfounded” and “shocked” by the attack. He identified his daughter as Amber and said that the stabbing left her with a punctured lung and liver. The father recalled the “joy” he felt upon seeing his daughter open her eyes at the hospital after she “heard my voice she started making eye contact trying to see me.”
