Shortly after midnight in Dellwood, a routine stop at a neighborhood gas station turned violent when a man was stabbed in the forehead, according to FOX 2. The attack happened around 12:15 a.m. Monday at the Neighbors Market station at West Florissant Avenue and Chambers Road.
The North County Police Cooperative quickly secured the scene while detectives collected evidence from the parking lot and surrounding area.

Police have not publicly identified a suspect or shared any possible motive.
