In a shocking turn of events, just weeks after an aunt was alleged to have stabbed her 4-year-old niece “multiple times” while babysitting in New Jersey, the victim’s father is left reeling. Prosecutors have now moved forward with charges, including attempted murder and additional counts.
Authorities have reported that law enforcement in Paterson responded to a residence close to East 24th Street and 10th Avenue on the afternoon of August 23 following allegations of a stabbing involving a 4-year-old girl. Officials reported that the girl sustained “multiple stab wounds” and was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital.
During an interview with a local ABC station, the girl’s father, Faherem LaSane, expressed that he was left “dumbfounded” and “shocked” by the incident. He revealed that his daughter, Amber, suffered a punctured lung and liver due to the stabbing. The father reminisced about the happiness he experienced when his daughter finally opened her eyes in the hospital, noting how she began to make eye contact as soon as she recognized his voice.
