The 91-year-old was allegedly stabbed multiple times, while her identity is just now confirmed by her sister Jeriline Brady-McGinnis.

“My anger was so high I could hear my heartbeat through my whole body, my anger went that high,” frustrated Brady-McGinnis told WHDH in an interview. “And of course, not nice things went through my head. I had to keep myself from getting in my own car and doing something stupid because it had to be a very, very brave man to attack a 91-year-old woman in a park.” According to sources, McGuire parked her car on Walnut Street, went into the park with her dog when she was stabbed several times, reported CBS Boston.
