Wearing a helmet and riding a motorcycle, the slasher has been attacking lone women on main roads or at bus stops, cutting or stabbing them before driving away.
Just as senior police officials had indicated they had arrested two main suspects from a flat in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, where the most attacks had taken place, the slasher struck again today evening in the Malir area.
The woman was slashed with a sharp object by the motorcycle rider.
Police have registered a First Information Report in the Saudabad, Malir Police Station and are looking at CCTV footage of the area and other forensic evidence.
At least 15 incidents of such attacks on women by the lone slasher were reported from the Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Shah Faisal areas in Karachi from September 25 to October 6.
In another incident on Monday night, a motorcycle rider stabbed a teenage girl in the Federal B area.
