The Redford Township Police Department reported that the victim sought help at a Marathon gas station on Plymouth Road around 6:40 p.m. last Friday after being attacked in an adjacent parking lot, as per The Detroit News.
Following a call to 911, police arrived at the scene and discovered the victim had suffered multiple lacerations and "severe blood loss." Officers learned that the victim was stabbed by an acquaintance, according to the authorities. Transported to a nearby hospital, the victim underwent surgery and, as of last Friday night, was expected to survive.

They continued to extend their well wishes, "We are wishing the victim a speedy recovery."
The suspect, whose identity has not been released, is being held in custody pending arraignment. Police have not yet provided details on the charges to be filed.
