Police Have No Leads in Slashing of Actress
Police on Sunday said they had no clues to knife attacks on two pedestrians in Manhattan, one of whom was actress Viveca Lindfors.
The Swedish-born Lindfors, 69, suffered a facial wound that took 28 stitches but said she would not be intimidated by gangs. Dennis Beal, 36, of New York was slashed just a few minutes earlier Saturday morning and within 3 blocks of the spot in Greenwich Village where Lindfors was attacked. Beal suffered cuts on his face that required 40 stitches.
Police said they believed that a few marauding youths were responsible for the two slashings, but they drew a blank as to their identities.
