According to ABC News, the NYPD arrested Sayed Mohassib, 27, on Saturday and charged him with second-degree murder in the stabbing of Katie Suarez, 28, who was attacked while jogging along the Belt Parkway waterfront in Brooklyn on Oct. 30. ABC reports she died three days later. The Daily Mail and the New York Post report that Mohassib is a former NYPD officer who was removed from the force for psychological reasons, and that video placed him leaving the park around the time of the attack. The New York Post, citing police sources, reports that Mohassib told officers he had no memory of the attack and woke up covered in blood with the knife in his possession.

Compare views

All three outlets report that Sayed Mohassib, 27, was charged with second-degree murder over the stabbing of Katie Suarez in Brooklyn. The left-side report presents it as a police-attributed arrest, while the right-side outlets lead with his former NYPD service and the suspect’s reported account.
