Slashing (crime)
Template:Criminal law
Slashing is a crime intended to cause bodily harm to a victim. A slashing is typically performed with a knife or other type of bladed or sharp object.
Slashing of the throat
Cutting of the throat as to render the victim unable to breathe. Severing of the common carotid artery or jugular vein is lethal by causing hypovolemic shock and leads to death by exsanguination.[1][2]
Slashing of the face
A street crime where a perpetrator permanently disfigures a victim by slicing into their face with a blade.
Boxer Teddy Atlas was involved in a street fight in Stapleton, Staten Island in which his face was severely slashed with a "007" flip-knife. The wound took 400 stitches in total to close, with 200 on the outside of his face and 200 on the inside. He is left with a scar that stretches from top to bottom along his left cheek.[3]
The actress and comedian Tina Fey has a scar a few inches long on the left side of her chin and cheek caused by a stranger attacking her when she was five years old.[4]
The actor Tommy Flanagan was the victim of a slashing when he was mugged outside of a club he was working at in Scotland. The slashing on both of his cheeks left him with what is known as a "Glasgow smile".[5][6][7]
