It is alleged that 25-year-old Annika Szathmary stabbed a man with a knife in the town of Pulteney, intending to kill him. It is further alleged that Szathmary caused serious physical injury to the man. According to the Sheriff’s Department, the victim was taken to a local hospital before being airlifted to a regional trauma center for further treatment, where he has remained since the incident.
The Sheriff’s Office Evidence Recovery Team and Criminal Investigations Unit conducted three search warrants, recovering the alleged weapon used in this incident.
