A woman who survived an ax attack allegedly at the hands of her boyfriend recalled the horrifying seconds before he left her with critical head injuries and murdered her pregnant childhood friend inside an apartment.

Angela Valle, 22, was in a relationship with 35-year-old Jerry Brown when he allegedly attacked her and her friend, Savannah Rivera, with an Mintcraft-brand ax around 1am on April 20, 2019.

Authorities say the assault, which happened while Valle's four-year-old daughter was inside the home, resulted in Brown nearly decapitating Rivera and gravely injuring Valle stumbling outside.

A motive for Brown's suspected attack has not been released, but he is currently in police custody and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Valle said the last conversation Brown had before he swung his three-foot hatchet began with him saying: 'You all are not getting out of this.'

The two women were sitting on Valle's couch in Bushwick, Brooklyn while she desperately tried to reason with Brown, according to New York Post.

She said: 'It’s me, it’s me, what is wrong with you?'

'Shut the f**k up. Just shut the f**k up. Sit on the floor,' Brown reportedly said.

'Put your hands down or I’m going to crack your s**t,' he allegedly continued, as Valle and Rivera sat on the floor with their backs against the couch.

Their necks were placed over the lower seat cushions, leaving their necks exposed.

'He was just like slowly swinging the ax back and forth, and I’m telling him, "My daughter is in the back room,"' Valle said.

'I’m like, "It’s Angie, it’s Angie". I’m thinking in my head - "This is it. We are about to die,"' she added.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has stopped Valle from remembering the details of the gruesome incident, but the New York Police Department says Brown proceeded to swing the blade into her skull and leave Rivera's head almost severed from her body.

Several of Rivera's fingers were also severed during the attack and her nine-week-old fetus perished.

Valle was able to escape from her eighth floor apartment and find help after struggling into an Uber car she found.

She said: 'I remember going down the steps from the eighth floor. I remember it was raining outside and getting into someone’s car.'

'I remember saying, "It’s stuck. It’s stuck." I felt like something was stuck in my head.'

Uber driver Boshra Azer immediately called 911, prompting NYPD Officers Sean Doohan and Mary Sobieski to arrive at the around 1.16am.

Valle said she pleaded with the officers to retrieve her daughter, Aliana, from inside the home. They refused, noting that the building was out of their jurisdiction.

One week later, Doohan would resign from his position amid a NYPD probe into both officers' apparent inaction during the incident. Sobieski was suspended, but returned to work while under investigation.

More than an hour later, a sergeant finally entered the apartment and discovered Rivera's body and an unharmed Aliana.

Valle is angry at the NYPD's initial response to her claims.

'I am upset with them. I was pleading for somebody to go upstairs, and I was told they… went up a whole hour later. Within that hour nobody knew where Jerry was, and anything could have happened,' she said.

Valle was transported to Elmhurst Hospital, where she would spend the next month being treated for a series of injuries.

This included a fractured skull, multiple stab wounds, collapsed lungs and broken ribs.

Meanwhile, authorities at the scene discovered a blood-smeared ax believed to be Brown's in the building's incinerator.

Brown later turned himself into authorities that afternoon and has reportedly spent several stints in psychiatric lockup in local jails.

In August, Brown received a felony charge for allegedly throwing feces at a female guard.

Brown, who has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges, said he has a history of mental illness, as well as no recollection of the attack.

The incident began when the trio took Aliana to the Garden Playground at PS 120 and grabbed pizza on April 19.

Sometime on that day, they purchased a bottle of Jose Cuervo that was opened after they placed Aliana to bed that night.

Everything was going smoothly until Valle noticed Brown acting oddly around her kitchen knife set.

She became frightened after recalling an incident on Valentine's Day when he held her 'hostage' and stabbed her with a knife.

The wounds were shallow enough to not need medical attention, but deep enough to bleed and leave scars.

Valle quickly took all the knives and threw them out the window, which further upset Brown when she admitted she didn't trust him.

'He was like, "I told you I would never do anything like that to you again".'

Suddenly, Valle remembered an ax Brown had brought to her apartment weeks earlier that he said was for 'construction.' She moved the ax from her bedroom to a guest room.

Brown insisted that Valle was overreacting.

'He’s like, "What happened? Are you scared? Go ahead and hide it. Put it wherever you want to put it,"' she said.

'It looked like he went to the living room, but he must have seen where I put it, because obviously he got to it.'

Later, the three were watching a Spanish music video when Brown got up to the restroom and returned with the ax.

Valle said: 'That song kept playing over and over again [during the attack].'

Nine months after the terrifying ordeal, Valle said there were early signs that Brown's disposition could have been dangerous.

'There are so many things I think of now, and to me, those were signs, like he was trying to tell me something,' she said.

She and Brown first met at the Bushwick Houses, where they both lived with their mothers.

They soon bonded over similar interests, including horror movies.

'We watched a lot of horror movies together. He said he always wanted to make a horror movie,' she said.

Following the Valentine's Day incident, Brown reportedly threatened Valle if she ever reported the incident and refused to listen when she tried to break up with him after the attack.

'When we did have that conversation...he said, "I didn’t waste all my time and energy on this relationship for you not to want to be with me anymore,"' Valle said.

She says a fight or cruel words never prompted either attack. Instead, Brown 'snapped.'

'It’s like he’s not there. Like he’s a whole different person,' Valle said.

'His face was so emotionless. It was like blank [during the attacks].'

Now, Valle is still haunted by the ordeal and described her life as 'overwhelming, sad, depressed.'

She said: 'I survived, but it doesn’t mean I’m in the clear, because I still have a lot of surgeries and stuff like that. So anything can happen.'

Doctors were forced to replace part of Valle's skull with a metal plate, but removed it when it became infected.

Valle: 'My whole right side of my skull [is missing]...I have to wear a helmet when I’m outside. It makes me feel insecure about the way I look'

She now wears a helmet to protect her brain and suffers an injury to her nervous system that prevents her from seeing peripherally in her left eye.

'I recovered really well. I was told I would have to start all over again...like walking and talking, but all of that is fine. My whole right side of my skull [is missing]...I have to wear a helmet when I’m outside. It makes me feel insecure about the way I look,' she said.

Valle is thankful her daughter is alive, but is afraid of lasting trauma affecting the young girl.

She said: 'She does ask me questions...but how do you explain any of this to a 5-year-old? I just tell her, "Mommy is gonna be OK."'

'She will say, "Don’t worry, Jerry is not going to hurt you anymore."'

Valle said she still feels guilty that Rivera and her unborn child suffered at the hand's of Brown.

'I’m sorry about what happened. I wish there was something I could have done to prevent the whole thing from happening. I love her, and I miss her,' Valle said.

'She was in the wrong place, at the wrong time.'
