The Austin Police Department is currently hunting for a suspect involved in a stabbing incident that occurred on the night of October 27. Around the stroke of midnight, officers descended upon the scene at 1901 E. William Cannon Drive after receiving reports of an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Found was a man, suffering from the cruel embrace of a knife wound, who was swiftly carried to a local hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
The assailant, having committed the act, vanished into the folds of a nearby wooded area, leaving behind only the echo of his crime and a photograph to aid detectives in their search. Described as a Hispanic male in the dawn of his 50s with dark hair graced by facial hair on his upper lip and chin, he was last sighted donning a blue-squared shirt.
