Early Saturday in downtown San Antonio turned tense when a 33-year-old woman was injured in a knife attack on the 300 block of North San Marcos. The assault happened around 3 a.m., leaving the woman with non-life-threatening wounds and a neighborhood on edge while the suspect remains on the run, according to WOAI.
Officers arrived to find signs of violence but no victim, a scenario that tends to spike everyone’s blood pressure, including the cops’. It was only later that witnesses located the woman nearby, and she was taken to a local hospital for treatment while detectives locked down the scene.
What police say
San Antonio police told WOAI that when officers first responded to the pre-dawn call, they found a crime scene but no victim. A short time later, they located the 33-year-old woman, who had what investigators described as “various non-life-threatening wounds.”
Witnesses gave officers a description of the suspect and his vehicle. Police say the man briefly surfaced nearby, then took off in a white Kia before officers could close in. Authorities believe the suspect is a 46-year-old man, and the case is being worked as an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
