While officers were still at the emergency room interviewing Jackson, the stabbing suspect, 18-year-old New Rochelle resident Danasia Hollis, arrived and was identified as the assailant. She was then taken into custody and officers found her with the knife allegedly used in the stabbing, Coyne said.
