According to the police, the 28-year-old woman was attacked, who got her hand injured as she tried to resist the attacker. She was then rushed to a private hospital in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, the police say. The total number of reported knife-attacks on women has shot up to 15, with the First Information Reports (FIRs) of three incidents registered at the Shahrah-e-Faisal and Gulistan-e-Jauhar police station.
