“It happened so rapidly”, one of the victims of daylight stabbing in Saskatoon speaks
The victim of a random stabbing in downtown Saskatoon last Thursday is sharing her story about the horrifying attack right in broad daylight.
She is one of two women who were stabbed by a random attacker in two separate areas of the downtown core around 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon May 25th.
The first incident happened on the sidewalk on 20th street at the southside of Midtown Plaza, which is a very well travelled area in the downtown.
That’s where the first victim, Sumika Zaidi, says she remembers someone running from across 20th Street and behind her. She then felt a sharp pain.
“The shock is disturbing my life,” Zaidi told CTV News.
Zaidi is a 25-year-old newlywed who came to Saskatoon from Pakistan’s largest city in February. She says she is afraid now and didn’t want her face shown.
“I can’t take this situation out of my mind. It happened so rapidly that I can’t understand what just happened to me in 20 to 25 seconds, it was so quick” ,” she says.
