Three enraged women viciously carved up the face of a woman inside a Bronx bodega, police sources said today.
The brutal attack left the 26-year-old victim with more than 40 stitches in her face as well as staples to close a gash in the back of her head.
“My face will probably never heal up,” said the victim, whose name the Post is withholding.
“I’m reminded of it every day because I was known for my looks.
“People would say you have such a pretty face, but now I have these big ugly scars.”
The victim said the day before the bloodshed, one of the women started yelling at her about her clothes.
“She gave me a dirty look and said, ‘Wow, did you have to come outside dressed like that.’”
Then on March 22, around 12:45 p.m. inside the store on Willis Avenue in Mott Haven, three women attacked her.
They began punching and kicking her, according to the sources.
After they left the store, they menacingly waited outside for the woman, said bodega worker Abraham Alfakih.
“They were waiting for her outside for a few minutes,” he told The Post.
“We had her in the back, we told her to wait here for the cops.”
But the assailants marched back inside with a razor and began slicing the victim’s face, the victim said.
One of the suspects “grabbed me by my ponytail and had her hands around my head.”
Another “held my arms from the back” as she was repeatedly slashed.
The victim was rushed to Lincoln Hospital to close the gaping wounds.
Investigators are still searching for the suspects.
The said a woman named Britney Sanders is wanted for questioning.
Sanders, 24, has prior arrests for robbery, trespassing and marijuana possession.
She lives in the Mitchel Houses, just a block from where the alleged assault occurred.
The victim, who left her apartment in the neighborhood because she feared for her and her son’s safety, said she’ll only have peace when her attackers are nabbed.
“I really just hope they get caught, because if they can do this to me, they’d do it to anybody.”
