A Brentwood man has been charged with stabbing his ex-wife more than 20 times in a McDonald’s drive-thru in Bay Shore, the day after she obtained a court order of protection against him, officials said.

Willie Curry, 36, of Brentwood, pleaded not guilty to attempted second-degree murder and other charges, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said in a news release Friday.

On Nov. 2, around 8:15 a.m., the victim, who officials have not identified, sat behind the wheel of her car at the window of a McDonald’s in Bay Shore, officials said. Riding an electric bike, Curry allegedly walked up to his ex-wife’s open driver’s side window and began stabbing her. The woman “screamed for help,” the district attorney said in the release, while bystanders in the restaurant and in other vehicles called 911 and yelled for Curry to stop.

After stabbing his ex-wife more than 20 times, the woman “drove a short distance” and a witness yelled at Curry to leave the woman alone, Tierney said in the statement. Another bystander checked on the victim while he was talking to a 911 operator.

“This brutal and calculated attack represents the devastating reality of domestic violence in our community,” Tierney said in a statement. “The defendant allegedly ambushed his ex-wife in broad daylight, just hours after she sought legal protection from him, showing a total disregard for both human life and the law “.

Curry’s ex-wife was taken to South Shore University Hospital, where she “received staples and stitches to close the wounds to her neck, face, chest, leg and hands,” the district attorney said. Officials said Curry was arrested near the scene.

A day before the alleged attack, Curry’s ex-wife obtained an order of protection from Family Court ordering him to stay away from her, officials said.

On Thursday, Curry pleaded not guilty before Superior Court Judge Timothy P. Mazzei to attempted second-degree murder, attempted first-degree assault, second-degree assault, aggravated criminal contempt, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a felony first degree contempt and first degree harassment, according to court documents.

Curry was ordered held on $500,000 cash, $1,000,000 bond or $10,000,000 partially secured bond pending the case, officials said. He faces 25 years in prison if convicted of attempted second-degree murder.

He is represented by the Legal Aid Society of Suffolk County, which does not comment on cases. He is due back in court on December 20.
