Mauldin, who is from North Carolina, joined Fox & Friends First on Thursday to discuss her harrowing experience of being randomly stabbed in the face by a man who is no stranger to being locked up.
“I was just waiting on my friend to come out of the restroom, scrolling on my phone,” she explained. “He came from behind. I never heard him because [of] how noisy the airport is, but he came from behind with a knife around my face, stabbed me there, and as soon as I felt the pressure, I thought he had just hit me. So, I turned around to see what was going on, and I see a man wielding a knife, just staring at me.”
“So I immediately just took off running through the airport screaming for help,” she added.
Her attacker was Jin Xiong, a 54-year-old man who just days earlier had been released from jail for aggravated assault.
Mauldin lays the blame for her attack directly at the feet of the judicial system.
“They have failed me. They have failed others just by constantly giving this man just simple assault charges, putting them in jail for a little bit, and letting him be released. Somebody who’s already stabbed multiple people to me, I think should be being charged with attempted murder, not simple assault, and he shouldn’t be allowed to walk the streets free with the rest of us harming others,” she said.
“That’s my main goal, is to get this story out, so potentially he doesn’t have a chance to harm anybody else like he’s harmed me.”
“Xiong has been in and out of jail since 2009. He reportedly stabbed two people back in 2007, and stabbed a New Jersey corrections officer in the neck in 2009 with a sharpened pencil,” Fox News reported.
