Massapequa home health aide arrested for stabbing 84 year old patient Long Island police say

A home health care aide from New York City is under arrest for allegedly stabbing and critically injuring an 84-year-old patient at her home on Long Island.

Amanda Fraser was charged with attempted second-degree murder in connection to the elder abuse case in Massapequa, Nassau County Police said Thursday.

CBS News New York confirmed the 23-year-old suspect from Queens worked out of Aides At Home. Managers in the senior and elder care provider's Hicksville office said the stabbing was a tragedy and an isolated incident.

"The investigation is ongoing. We're cooperating fully," a manager said.

Fraser was hospitalized after her arrest to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, sources told CBS News New York. She will be arraigned when medically practical.
