A Hispanic veteran of war is in critical condition after being stabbed by her own boyfriend inside her home in Bronx County, New York. The 30-year-old woman was pregnant and lost the baby she was expecting due to the attack.

Early Tuesday, Liv Abreu, who was part of the air division of the 82nd Army battalion, was rushed to the Lincoln Hospital after being attacked by a subject at around 12:30 am inside her apartment, located in the coming Walton, near the Yankees stadium.

According to police reports, the expectant mother was stabbed 6 times in the chest and once in the side, and was 26 weeks pregnant. Despite her serious condition, Abreu managed to crawl down the stairs while bleeding to death and was able to knock on a neighbor's door for help.

"I was so excited about the baby, they both were," Gloria Lambert, one of the neighbors, told the New York Daily News. “You could already tell, she looked very happy. This was going to be her first child.”

The police immediately went in search of Oscar Álvarez, 30, the woman's boyfriend and father of the child, who had fled in the Cherokee-owned vehicle owned by his partner.

At around 4:00 am the subject was detained, and later said that the stabbings were an “accident”. After being questioned by the police, Álvarez was charged with attempted murder, assault with the intention of causing serious physical injury, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

According to his Facebook profile Abreu served as a parachutist and human resources specialist during his stay in the army. She was based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and for a couple of years she worked as a salesperson in an AT&T store.

Although some neighbors expressed amazement at the news, others suspected that something was wrong between the couple. “You always heard people screaming, a woman. Now I think it could have been her,”said Lambert. "That started a few months ago. A month ago someone was screaming horrible, like a woman being beaten. " As for the suspect, the neighbor says that he was "respectful." "She always said hello, how are you?"
