MINNEAPOLIS – A 20-year-old man from Brooklyn Center faces life in prison after police said he “calmly” confessed to stalking and stabbing a woman at random in a park and “even laughed” while being interrogated.
According to the criminal complaint in Hennepin County District Court, Brooklyn Center officers were dispatched to Willow Lane Park early Sunday after a 911 caller admitted to attacking a woman struggling with homelessness.
Police said the man admitted he “stabbed her around 20 times and enjoyed it,” and was “wondering what the outcome of the stabbing was.”
Police said the suspect “showed no remorse” and “became very upset” when he learned the victim would likely live.
The victim is in critical condition but is expected to survive. He is charged with first-degree attempted murder, which carries the possibility of life without parole. His bail is set at $2 million.
