A 27-year-old woman was attacked by her husband on a Foot Over Bridge (FOB) in Virar on Wednesday. The man, identified as Shiva Sharma (32) first assaulted her, tried to strangle with her dupatta, later took out a knife and tried to stab her, said a source.

The incident took place just a day after the couple had approached Virar police station to register their complaints against each other, but "the brother of the woman did not want to register a complaint and they left the police station," said an officer at Virar police station.
