OKLAHOMA CITY -- A woman was stabbed Sunday afternoon in the southeast corner of the Penn Square Mall parking lot in northwest Oklahoma City.

According to a police report, mall patrons returning to their cars found Darcie Anderson "weaving around" and apparently bleeding.

"It was an extreme burning. It went all the way down my leg. I couldn't move any part of my body," Anderson said.

Witnesses called 911, and when EMSA arrived they found Anderson unresponsive. However, her injuries are not considered serious.

Anderson's purse and other belongings were not taken, and she was unable to give a description of her attacker. Her only recollection is that she remembers feeling the presence of possibly a large male behind her.

"I'm extremely frustrated, just frustrated at the entire situation, and I want this guy to be caught," Anderson said.

Anderson said she was counting on surveillance video to help catch the person responsible, but none was available.

"The officers at the scene noted there was no surveillance, no surveillance of any type to be booked as evidence in this particular case," said Oklahoma City Police Department Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow.

The incident and lack of surveillance video was disturbing enough that a family member of a person who rushed to help the victim is now circulating an e-mail stating,"[the Oklahoma City police officer] told my mom that Penn Square Mall did not have security cameras in their parking lot and that they were trying to keep the news media from knowing because it would create 'bad business.'"

While security cameras were not visible in the mall parking lot, there were a handful of security officers patrolling around the mall.

Anyone with information about this crime should call Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300.
