Overview
- Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Samy Sedhom, who was arrested Friday night at a West Avenue home where officers found a 28-year-old woman bleeding from a facial wound.
- A Nassau County Police Department release says an arrow fired from a crossbow grazed the woman’s face, and she was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
- Court filings state Sedhom admitted planning to kill his sister since Christmas and told police he had installed a GPS device in her car to track her.
- He faces charges of attempted murder, assault, stalking, criminal possession of a weapon, and tampering with physical evidence.
- Records say he pleaded not guilty, was remanded without bail, and is due back in Nassau District Court on Wednesday after investigators recovered a Barnett crossbow and a black Katana sword from his bedroom.
