An NYPD spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital on Saturday that the woman remained alive.
Police have not released her identity, and investigators have not identified a suspect, the spokesperson said.
The New York Post reported that the woman had been training for Sunday's New York City Marathon, citing police sources.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, New York Road Runners (NYRR), which organizes the marathon, expressed sympathy for the victim and her family.

"We were sad to hear of this horrible attack—our hearts are with her family and the running community," the organization said.
NYRR also said its records show the woman had previously participated in its races but could not confirm whether she planned to run in Sunday's marathon.
It was not immediately clear what led up to the attack or whether the victim knew her attacker.
The attack occurred along a section of the waterfront path overlooking Gravesend Bay, with views of Staten Island and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the Post reported.
Police are asking the public for help as the investigation continues.
