CROWN HEIGHTS, BK— A 30-year-old woman was fatally stabbed inside Lincoln Terrace Park in Crown Heights early Tuesday, and police are searching for a man who fled the scene.
Officers responded to a report of a stabbing shortly after 12:40 a.m. and found the woman suffering from multiple stab wounds throughout her body, according to police.

The man fled on foot and was last seen running down Rochester Avenue wearing only gray pants, according to police.
