Mom turns herself in after slashing throats of her two children

A Bronx mother slashed her two young children’s throats before turning up at a police precinct covered in blood to confess to the heinous crime, cops said Monday.

A passerby saw Shanice Martin, 24, allegedly stab her 2-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son in the neck and body on the corner of Washington Avenue and Brook Avenue at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, police reported.

Martin ran off as witnesses called the cops, officials said.

Shortly after the 911 call, Martin, covered in blood, walked into the 42nd Precinct and confessed to her crimes, police added.

She now faces 12 counts of assault, two counts of child abandonment, two counts of child endangerment and two counts of possessing a weapon, police said.

A razor blade was recovered, but it was not immediately clear whether it was the weapon she used to stab her children, officials said.

Martin is undergoing psychiatric evaluation and observation at Lincoln Hospital.

The children were treated at New York Presbyterian Hospital, but their conditions were not immediately clear, according to authorities.
