The woman, who was rushed to Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, succumbed to the wounds she sustained in the attack at the hospital, Abu Dhabi police said.
 
Investigations are still under way to identify the suspect’s identity and gender. Witnesses reported that the culprit was fully covered wearing an abaya, black gloves and face cover (Niqab).

According to Colonel Dr Rashid Mohammad Borshid, head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Abu Dhabi Police, the victim, identified as A B R, 37, worked as a school teacher.

She was stabbed with a sharp tool, which was later confiscated by the police.
