NYC slasher’s alleged victim is 25-year-old off-Broadway costume designer

Arizona Woman Slashed in Soho Attack

A 25-year-old woman from Arizona, Megan Berg, was viciously attacked by a deranged vagrant in Soho, where she had been living her dream working as an off-Broadway costume designer. Her father, George Berg, expressed deep sorrow over the incident, describing Megan as a bubbly and passionate individual who loves what she does.

The attacker, Muslim Brunson, a career criminal with a history of mental health issues, is facing charges of attempted murder and assault for the heinous act. The incident occurred in broad daylight on a busy street in Soho, leaving Megan critically injured and hospitalized at Bellevue Hospital.

According to police reports, Brunson approached Megan from behind and slashed her neck with a broken bottle in a random and unprovoked attack. This is not the first time Brunson has been involved in such violent behavior, as he has a prior arrest for assaulting a city transit worker in 2022.

George Berg, Megan’s father, shared the devastating impact the attack has had on their family. He mentioned that Megan is still in the ICU at the hospital, and his wife has flown to New York to be by her side during this difficult time.

The incident has shocked the Soho community and raised concerns about the safety of individuals in the area. As Megan fights for her life, her family and friends are hoping for her swift recovery and justice to be served for the senseless act of violence.
