Erin Piacenti, a Bank of America vice president, has been identified as the woman killed in a stabbing in New York City’s Times Square. The attack took place around 4:30pm on Monday at West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue. A 68-year-old man was also stabbed and remains in stable condition. Police said the attack appeared random and unprovoked. Officers fatally shot the female suspect after a Taser failed to stop her and she advanced towards them with knives. Bank of America said it was “deeply saddened” by the loss of its colleague.
