Two children were found stabbed to death Thursday inside an Upper West Side apartment, authorities said. Their nanny also tried to kill herself and was taken into police custody in connection with the killings, authorities said.
The children, a 1-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl, were discovered by their mother inside a bathtub at the West 75th Street apartment at about 5:30 p.m., New York City police said. They were both taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where they were declared dead.
The nanny was lying on the bathroom floor with apparent stab wounds to her neck and a kitchen knife by her side, police said. Her wounds appeared to be self-inflicted, police said.
She was rushed by ambulance to Cornell Weill Medical Center and was listed in critical condition. Police said the nanny, who wasn't identified, was being monitored by police.
The children were found by their mother when she arrived with a 3-year-old daughter at the apartment in the La Rochelle building, police said.
The mother's screams were heard by a neighbor who called 911, police said. Arriving officers discovered the children with multiple stab wounds, according to Paul Browne, a spokesman for the New York Police Department.
Sandy Marcus, a neighbor who said he has lived in the building for 33 years, described the mother as "inconsolable, hysterical, frantic" as she left the building with police.
"She was clutching her [3-year-old] child and screaming—bloodcurdling screams in the lobby," Ms. Marcus said. "There were swarms of police."
A New York City Fire Department official said the mother was taken to St. Luke's, where she was being treated for trauma. The official said the apartment was a "chaotic and major crime scene." Police said the children's father wasn't home at the time of the killing.
An online rental agent described the 11-story La Rochelle building as the "most luxurious new rental on the Upper West Side.
