The mother of the man charged in the fatal stabbing of Brooklyn jogger Katie Suarez spoke publicly for the first time since his arrest, saying she hopes “everything will go ok.” Fatma Mohassib addressed reporters at the family’s Bensonhurst home after police arrested her son, Sayed Mohassib, on Saturday morning. She described her son as a “good person” and said she is grieving, telling Suarez’s parents, “I lost my son.” Authorities allege security camera footage places Mohassib near the area where Suarez was stabbed while jogging near Shore Parkway and Bay 17th Street on Oct. 30. Court records say Mohassib told detectives he went to the bike path that day carrying a knife because he believed “people were going to come and kill his family.” Mohassib told investigators that near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge he “sat down on a bench” and “became covered in blood.” After returning home, he said he “got rid of the bloody clothing” and “the knife,” and that he had blood in his apartment which he attempted to clean. The documents also say Mohassib discarded items through a garbage chute, located across from the family apartment. Police say his mother and sister called 911 in 2024 after he allegedly threatened to chop them up. Mohassib’s mother said her son had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals, with his longest stay lasting two months. She added that he left the NYPD after only a few weeks, later joined the Marines, and was taken to Bellevue Hospital when he attempted to return to the police department and was denied. Suarez called her father as she jogged, saying she was on her way back. When she failed to arrive, her father searched for her and found her critically injured. The case is pending, with prosecutors pursuing murder charges against Sayed Mohassib, who is being held without bail.
