Police say a 34-year-old man stabbed her multiple times then fled to his nearby residence. He was eventually taken into custody.
Emergency Medical Technician Lt. Alison Russo-Elling, a 24-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, was stabbed and killed Thursday afternoon.NEW YORK — A longtime emergency medical worker with New York City’s fire department who was a first responder on Sept. 11 was killed Thursday afternoon in an apparently random stabbing in broad daylight, police said Thursday.
The stabbing happened at approximately 2:15 p.m. in Queens, about a half-block from the station where FDNY EMS Lt. Alison Russo-Elling was assigned, according to police. Russo-Elling was wearing clothes that would have identified her as EMS personnel, officials said, and was heading to a corner store to get something to eat when a 34-year-old man stabbed her multiple times. Russo-Elling, 61, was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead.“Members of EMS serve only to help and save other people’s lives,” Acting Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said.
“She served the city for 25 years. She was a World Trade Center first responder. She was cited multiple times for her bravery and her life-saving work. And she was absolutely beloved on this job,” Kavanagh said. There were two eyewitnesses to the attack who knew the assailant and one of them gave chase, police said. The man fled to the third floor of his nearby residence and barricaded himself inside. He eventually was talked into coming out and taken into custody.
