JAMAICA PLAIN – Ninety-one-year-old Jean McGuire, the first Black woman elected to the Boston City Council and a founder of METCO, was stabbed several times in Franklin Park Tuesday night, sources told WBZ-TV’s I-Team.

She is in stable condition in the hospital and is expected to be ok. There have been no arrests in the attack, which I-Team sources said was random.

It happened around 8:30 p.m. in the area of Playstead Road.

I-Team sources said Maguire parked her car on Walnut Street, walked into the park with her dog and was stabbed several times. She was rushed to the hospital where she spent the night. Boston Police said her injuries are “non-life-threatening.”
