An 85-year-old woman was hospitalized with serious injuries after her home health aide allegedly stabbed her and then tried to crash a car into her Massapequa house.

The incident happened around 11:40 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29, at a residence near Bay Drive and Merrick Road.

Officers responded to reports of a stabbing that triggered heavy police activity and forced nearby schools, including Massapequa High School and Birch Lane Elementary, into a precautionary lockout, according to preliminary radio traffic.

Bay Drive was closed between Merrick Road and Nassau Street as detectives and the Crime Scene Unit investigated, the county’s traffic management center said.

A Nassau County Police spokesperson confirmed to Daily Voice that an elderly woman was stabbed by her home health aide and was in serious but stable condition.

The victim’s son, Kery Kilgannon, told ABC7 home security footage captured the overnight aide stabbing his mother, Wendy Wilson, while she was asleep. 

Kilgannon told the station the video also showed the caregiver climbing into bed with Wilson afterward before leaving the home. He said outside cameras later appeared to show the aide attempting to ram a car into the house before fleeing.

Wilson, a retired psychologist, was discovered later that morning by a daytime caregiver and was hospitalized for a punctured lung, according to the outlet.

No arrests had been announced as of Wednesday evening.
