Two Richmond Habitat for Humanity workers were stabbed Saturday on the work site of a home they were rebuilding.
One of the victims, Kayla Reyes, 18, says she and her site supervisor were wrapping up construction for the day when a man approached the home in the 200 block of West 34th Street.
Reyes said the man asked about directions. She helped him by looking up an address on her phone.
She says when she turned away, the man wrapped his arm around her neck, demanding money and choking her.
“It was like my whole body was confused. I didn’t know what was happening,” said Reyes. “When I saw the knife, I really knew it was serious. And I knew I had to get out of his arms because if I didn’t, it wouldn’t end well for me.”
Reyes fought back, managing to break away. Her supervisor rushed to help, and began struggling with the man.
The supervisor was stabbed four times, twice in his chest and twice in his back. Reyes was also knifed in the back of her leg.
The suspect fled on foot towards Forest Hill Avenue.
Both Reyes and her supervisor were rushed to the hospital. The supervisor is in stable condition.
Reyes says she hopes police catch this suspect soon so that he doesn’t harm anyone else.
