Another woman was stabbed by the lone 'knifeman' in a busy neighbourhood near Rado Bakery in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, Superintendent of Police Gulshan, Ghulam Murtaza Bhutto told DawnNews on Thursday.

The latest victim, a 28-year-old woman, is wounded and was taken to a private hospital. According to official figures, 11 women have been attacked in the Gulistan-i-Jauhar area in the past two weeks.

On Tuesday, the Karachi East-Zone Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Sultan Ali Khowaja announced that police officials were deployed in at least 30 points in Gulistan-i-Jauhar along with decoy teams in order to prevent the attacks and arrest the culprit.

Police also arrested six suspects to investigate the attacks on Tuesday.

“No incident has [occurred] since the evening of Sept 28 due to... effective deployment, suspect profiling and interviews, and cooperation of residential unions,” Khowaja had said.

Five women have been attacked since. Last night, four women were stabbed within two hours in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area.

According to the police, the lone "knife-wielding" motorcyclist is suffering from "psychological problems".
