Brown
WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon man was sentenced on Thursday to 19 years in state prison for attacking and stabbing his ex-girlfriend.
The sentencing of Sidney Brown, 53, comes following his guilty plea to attempted murder and strangulation, both as felonies, in connection with the attempted murder of Deborah Henry.
Brown and Henry had been domestic partners and have three children together.
At about 6:30 p.m. on April 8, 2015 in the parking lot of the Irvington Metro-North Railroad station, Brown accosted Henry and stabbed her repeatedly in the neck, torso, back and thigh. The attack was witnessed by several bystanders and the Irvington fire chief who intervened.
Both the Henry and Brown were admitted to local hospitals. On April 10, Brown was discharged from Westchester Medical Center and arraigned.
