A ‘sweet and innocent’ Irish woman who died after being stabbed in a New York City bar was named Sarah McNally, police have said.
McNally, 41, from County Longford but living in Flushing, Queens, was attacked at the Céilí House Bar in Maspeth on Saturday.
She was working behind the Irish pub at the time when she was stabbed in the neck at about 6.30pm local time.
Police found her and an unidentified man suffering from stab wounds in the back and neck.
Witnesses told the New York Post that the man was her boyfriend who ‘walked right in and stabbed her’.
McNally and the man were taken to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition. She was pronounced dead by hospital staff.
The investigation remains ongoing.
