The health aide, who did not recognize Olivia, then called the police, who entered the home after hearing the victim 'screaming from the bathroom.'
He was transported to Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx and was bleeding profusely from his wrist.
Richard underwent two surgeries to 'reattach the tendons in his arms' and he lost 'all function in his hand,' the DA's Office reported.
