Police are investigating after a woman was slashed in the face during a robbery in the Bronx early Friday morning.

Officers say the 20-year-old woman was walking home on Holland Avenue in the Van Nest section just after 12 a.m.

That's when a man grabbed her and tried to steal her phone. 

They say he then slashed her in the face, kicked her to the ground and took her purse before running away.

The victim was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.
